"Code as Craft" was the name of their engineering blog. I suspect the author found a post about Etsy running their own servers there and decided this juxtaposition fit the narrative they were building.
- genericpseudo 9y agoIt looks (from the outside) like Etsy's core eng team, early, had its culture come from all of the ex-Flickr people working there. Flickr's other direct descendant, culturally, is Slack. Those are nerdy, charming, funny cultures. "Code as Craft" is a cute pun. Taking it entirely literally is a really big point-miss.
