The way reddit seems to be unable to implement useful and complex new features leads me to wonder what their development practices are like.
It's like they can only create simple new things, but more complicated stuff is beyond them. Complex features like moderator tools, rate limiting, accessibility, a working video player, and a rich text editor.
Are they only hiring the cheapest least experienced developers? Too few devs, or too many managers?
- kelipso 3y agoHas reddit ever had a good reputation in the tech world? I'd rather work a pornhub than reddit and would take a pay cut to work at all of the other big social media companies than reddit. The engineering team seems terrible looking at the website and all its iterations, you'd have to work for people who had hosted all of those repulsive subreddits, the company itself seems very unstable. Probably moot would be more successful IPOing 4chan.

- dotnet00 3y agoKind of gives me pre-aquisition Twitter vibes. Although I think Reddit is less bloated than Twitter was as an organization.
