Are there any Facebook employees/ex-employees here on HN? I've often wondered how many PHP developers they have on staff and how they manage deploying/integrating stuff in PHP for production.
- leftnode 17y agoI do not work for Facebook, nor have I ever, but they do have some pretty neat things PHP-wise on their open source section of the site. http://developers.facebook.com/opensource.php http://developers.facebook.com/opensource.php Particularly, Thrift is what they use to use PHP on the front end of the site to communicate to servers running C++ and Erlang environments. At least, thats what I've heard.
- ccheever 17y agohi. when i left in march, facebook had about 100 engineers writing primarily PHP code. the engineering team has continued to grow rapidly over the past few months so the number is probably close to 200 now.
