@thehigherlife - I was thinking about the same thing recently (an announcement about FB becoming the biggest photo app on the planet). I found two great sources of information on this..

Very deep analysis of Flickr's arch from a couple of years ago - including a link to a presentation to Cal Henderson's slides. I'm surprised he got canned from Y! yesterday though!

- furburger 17y agoi don't know anything about cal's departure, but i can say that any large co like yahoo, google, msft, apple etc is more or less impervious against the loss of one or a few technical individuals. his departure may have symbolic value but the machine that is chugging there will keep chugging, for better or for worse
- jamie 17y agoDon't confuse continuing to operate with continuing to innovate. A few technical individuals can move the needle more than you'd imagine, even at a big co.
