Let's make this thread useful instead: Please enlighten the HN community at large: Tell us how you'd build instagram, what your tech choices would be and why Python is the "worst technology choice".

- fiatjaf 9y agoDo you really think Instagram is a great work of art, that the Instagram codebase is exemplary? I think it could be pure shit -- and indeed a very simple idea. They got big and famous, but it wasn't for dexterity in language choice or coding.
