They mentioned exactly that as a talking point during a talk I saw in 2012, so I'd imagine it's even more accurate now. Thrift exists for a reason. Another fun

They mentioned exactly that as a talking point during a talk I saw in 2012, so I'd imagine it's even more accurate now. Thrift exists for a reason. Another fun bit from that deck was a newsfeed-related PHP function with something like over 70 arguments across a dozen lines -- basically template data to render that had organically grown over time. It earned its own slide. There was an audible gasp from the room when it was revealed in all its glory, and they talked about the work it takes to refactor stuff like that (which is extensive).
