  • I still remember the mass migration to reddit. Digg had an old website that didn’t scale to their userbase. They deployed a new site, and everyone hated the design. They couldn’t continue on the old website because it would crash and burn.

    The important part is that Kevin, Alex and all of Digg were quite open and honest about the situation. At no point were they being jerks. They just couldn’t keep manage the technical hurdles.

    There’s probably a few things you can do live on a call.

    I always wanted to try passing a common function through a minifier then a beautifier. Show them the code with unhelpful variable names, and ask them what name they would give the function.

    A good programmer would be able to identify a string compare function or an IP bitmask eval function pretty quickly.
