- jedberg 12y agoThe HN code base is as much an experiment in Arc as it is a social news site. Also the feature set is surprisingly different (although I wish some of the features were here like comment collapsing and async comment submission).
- jedberg 12y agoWhen we upgraded LBs we didn't have a continuity break. We just flipped the IP when it was ready. For most DB upgrades we did dual writing so we didn't have to have a break.
