Who is Evan Weaver? How does he know what Twitter's problem is?

• sant0sk1 18y ago
  Evan Weaver is a Ruby programmer who Twitter hired awhile back to help fix their scaling problems.

    Thank you; that wasn't immediately evident by looking at his bio on his blog.

      It isn't? http://blog.evanweaver.com/about/ http://blog.evanweaver.com/about/ says "I currently work at Twitter" and has a link to his resume, which says he started there in May.

        Bizarre; I didn't see that there when I looked earlier.

  Evan wrote bleak_house. Alongside the Nimble Method guys, he's one of the best known Rails tuners. He knows what Twitter's problems are because they hired him to fix it.
