He was employee number one and I think the last remaining link to the founding team (not sure). I've got a lot of respect for him, especially after meeting him in person when I toured the office earlier this year. His commute was over 2 hours each day, and he had to deal with all the scaling issues with amazon almost single-handedly, not to mention the Saturday nights that were devoted to keeping the site up.
I wish you the best, dude. Hopefully you'll join hipmunk! :-)
- jedberg 15y agoFirst I have to clarify that nothing I did was single handed. I couldn't possibly have done what I did without the support of the awesomeness that was the rest of team reddit. As for hipmunk, I think they already have too much talent, since they have the rest of reddit. :)
- phlux 15y agoWhere were you commuting from?
- jedberg 15y agoCupertino.
- holdenk 15y agoYou should come swing by the foursquare offices sometime if your bored, I'll get you a fresh pack of bacon if you give me a heads up :)
- jedberg 15y agoEverything up to the bacon sounded good. :) I think you sent me an email, I'll hit you up there.
- emmett 15y agoJedberg was not on the founding team of Reddit. The founding team of reddit was Steve Huffman (spez) and Alexis Ohanian (kn0thing). Jedberg was their first hire after acquisition, though they'd acquired two other team members via merger (Chris Slowe and Aaron Swartz) prior to that.
