Hah! That's awesome. Gotta love the Sierra Nevada on the desk too :)

edit: now why in the world is my comment being downvoted?

Because HN readers only drink Pliny the Elder and mentioning any other beer is down vote criteria.

Usual Suspects: Someone fat fingered an upvote or HN is not always enthusiastic about "Me too!/That's awesome!" no-op comments.

Backup Suspect: Teetotaler/Brogrammer-hater. Doesn't like beer on the desk at work.

to be that guy: that's a bunch of kids. goes to show that we're far from being a mature industry when critical pieces of internet infrastructure are being run by bright, but inexperienced people. and of course they're inexperienced, no one really is, the whole thing is in its infancy.

but imagine this being "the team" in charge of mission critical stuff on a 777.

experience cannot be gained through shortcuts or pure intelligence. case in point, this very situation.

Say no to age discrimination.

Gonna be that guy:

That looks a lot like the scene from SV where the Snooli guys figure out that the "algorithm" is really good.

Also that's one BIG monitor.

Wish I could see what's on the monitor!
