Are you sure you are allowed to post here? :)



Not sure why I wouldn't be. :) I'm a hacker after all.


I have to say, the incongruity between your accomplishments and your website [1] is mindboggling. You have listed on your resume, as one of your accomplishments, that you built the tools necessary to manage 1B pageviews/month with a single sysadmin... and your home page is 32 lines of html. Not sure I've seen such a disconnect between skills and presentation since Knuth's homepage. [2]

Thank you I think?

I don't have a lot of time to update my homepage, so it's basic. It's way down on the bottom of my todo list to update it at some point but honestly those links will tell you far more about me than anything I could write about myself.


>Thank you I think?

It's a sorta-kinda complement, in a roundabout way. Were you just some random with a homepage, I would dismiss you as not being worth my attention. Knowing, however, the amount of work you'd put into keeping reddit up under some pretty unfavorable circumstances, you've been filed under "dudes with crazy skills and shitty homepages".

It's a small file with some interesting names in it.

Edit: At the moment, it's pretty much just you and Knuth.


How could you possibly forget this?

Well in that case I'm quite honored to be in the same category as Knuth regardless of what category that might be. :)


http://www.berkshirehathaway.com/ is another great example of this kind of disconnect considering they are 7th in the fortune 500 list.


This one's a pretty good disconnect:

(That's "page" as in Larry)
