I think they mean something like say, Lightspeed Magazine is a genre magazine, and the genre is scifi.

However, we seem to have saturated their database connections (friends don't let friends have connection pools without bounds/with the wrong bounds, especially not to serve static content), so I haven't read the article. [ETA: Did read it, am now positive.]

Friends don't let friends serve static content in a way that involves a database!

It's not static, it's Wordpress, and that's something we can complain about once there's an actual alternative in the niches WP fills.

No, friends just throw a static cache in front of their friend's static content.

In the same way that friends throw a rug over their friend's dirty floor? Caches are at best a stopgap, and usually cause more problems than they solve.
