It was an early and foolish decision we made back in the dearly days of TinyGrab. The original system wasn't built, or even created, to handle more than a handful of people using the service. Thanks to some great PR though we scaled to ver 400,000+ users almost over night. The code base was horrible, buggy and 2.0 was being written to fix all of that. It was supposed to be a smooth transition over, but unfortunately someone got there first and forced us to launch the new system.
- ams6110 16y agoWe are seeing the downside of the "get version 1.0 out in front of users as quickly as possible" mentality. Fine, get the first version in front of users sooner rather than later. But if you are not in a position to recover from an intrusion, disk failure, fire in the server room, etc. you are not ready to have users. You really need to address all those concerns before the first line of code is written, as without it all your investment in development is at risk.
