How many developers does hacker news have?

• shii 16y ago
  rtm and pg, plus a few mods as far as I can tell.

  HN is a much, much simpler program, both in terms of features and internals. Internally, Reddit is a gigantic mess.

    It also doesn't have a gazillion pageviews a month and daily downtime.

    Isn't HN basically news.arc[1] plus some custom mods and caching with content/stories saved as flatfiles? Reedit has many more sophisticated load issues to about. The two aren't really comparable it seems. [1]: https://github.com/nex3/arc/raw/042990a55d8c880a0a88476eb52b169e47f35d32/news.arc https://github.com/nex3/arc/raw/042990a55d8c880a0a88476eb52b...

      Yeah, that was my point. Reddit is much more complex and much messier.
