Anything that touches our production databases, mostly sharded mysql, needs to go through our php orm.

We do have other contained infrastructure that is written in some other languages like go and scala.


Yes, a Null test really should be the first test you run if you're looking to get into A/B testing.

You should also run an ongoing A/A test across your site or app to have confidence your bucketing, data pipeline, stats tests and effect on metrics is working as expected over time.


The Etsy blogs use Wordpress, so we do use existing third-party tools where is makes sense.

Kellan might have a rule to not build a CMS but we certainly have built one to manage help page content and other knowledge base pages. That content is largely managed by our support staff.

I wrote the current tool but it is actively being replaced. We chose to to roll our own since we'd have to do some work to integrate a third party tool into our database architecture and authentication system. The tool is heavily integrated into other internal tooling and has specific workflows that also make using an existing tool challenging.

The About page content is largely static, aside from the staff photos mentioned in the above post.


thank you! just ran the binary and hitting the power button on a mbp retina now brings up the "Are you sure you want to shut your computer down now?" dialog. This is behavior is by far the worst part of mavericks.


We don't use hphp in production at Etsy but do use it for static analysis in our build. It catches lots of dumb mistakes.


Another vote for JSONView.


I'm using SlickGrid[1] in an internal tool. It uses divs and spans to display data, so there are certainly nice examples that do so.

But why would you want that? The whole point of moving from <table> to <div> for layout was that using <table> wasn't semantic and was the wrong tool for the job. But <table> is the right tool for displaying tabular data. That's its entire purpose for existing. Using <div> to display tabular data is a regression.

Edit: typo


I don't disagree, just pointing out that there are ways to achieve a tabular layout without an html table. Tables are for data right?

On the other hand, I like the idea of less and more generic constructs that can be adapted to achieve some need. Specialized tags like dd, address, details, summary, code, blockquote, etc just seem superfluous.


Heres mine with a pretty basic bash script that creates symlinks. https://github.com/chucklarge/dotfiles


Thanks for sharing! Mine is below; not particularly elegant, but it adds stale link cleanup and a dry-run mode.

Oh interesting...back button.


Shameless plug for my html resume template, https://github.com/chucklarge/html-resume-template

I used to use LaTeX but couldn't figure out how to style it exactly as i needed.

If you do use LaTeX, use the \LaTeX function.
