What I like about this talk is that it is honest. You can tell this guy wasn't sitting in an ivory tower telling the peons how to fix the problems, he actually lived it.
Talks like this are great examples that all systems evolve to what they are like today. Nothing is designed perfectly like those in system design interviews.
Pfft. Just means they've moved the schema definition into the content of the table. That's exactly what they are: Things. It's just a different data architecture.
front end application in node? Say its served by node. its not node. I was not expecting it from reddit. People like you made our life miserable by seeing front end node.js developer job posts. Which does not make sense .
Node is still used by the bundlers used to compile their front end (whether it's React or Web Components). I can't imagine why a front-end engineer wouldn't know how to use Node these days. It's not that hard if you already know JavaScript. And, if you don't know JavaScript, aren't you more of a designer than anything?

Number of times "thing" is mentioned during this talk is amazing.
He has the "Daily Dose of Internet" voice! That's pretty cool. Always love to hear from people who actually got their hands dirty and solved problems.

Great talk. Although I think 'thing' has be one of the worst named components of all time.

I wonder what the major news event 24:18 was
even though I'm working on totally different area, now I feel hand-on experiences on server side work.
So.. what exactly are they storing in Cassandra? Just whatever they cache?
i'm 100% sure they store votes in cassandra
Comments and Votes
CDN to make decisions ? Sounds a lot like an API gateway. What content is the CDN delivering ?
THINGS!
Great talk, thank you!
Neil Williams is a calm speaker.

Amazing talk!
This is gold!
Awesome video !
Waited for years! Haha
Good talk. The audio could be louder.
but why start a single pod for every single vote via messeage broker?
