So, you don't use a libc, or a web framework, or any library that implements common logic that other programmers have spent ages refining?
If yes, erk, I don't want to be anywhere near that codebase. If not, I'm reminded of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKjPI6no5ng https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKjPI6no5ng
- markpapadakis 12y agoObviously, I thought I didn't need to mention that, by everything ourselves I meant our core infrastructure. We didn't write an OS, a compiler tools chain, an editor, a standard library etc. Though we did write our own javascript syntax/semantics based language/compiler/runtime for server side needs. Like I said, if we were to start over, we d use OSS, but, all things considered, that decision didn't hurt us and gave us leverage, knowhow, flexibiliry and that helped is be where we are now.
