- rjvir 15y agoThe article is definitely sensationalist and linkbait, but the title is not a lie. However misleading it is, Reddit doubling its engineering staff is equivalent to hiring three new programmers.
- guywithabike 15y agoI think the point of the title is combining two pieces of interesting information: A) Reddit has come a hell of a long way with a tiny engineering team and, B) Reddit has hired 3 new engineers.
