@thestrongest @GNUxeava It's WordPress. I used to develop WordPress extensions and it was the programming equivalent of a brain hemorrhage.

@firestarter @GNUxeava @allison @thestrongest my theory is they integrated wordpress for things like content and homepages, i would do that rather than writing my own crm from scratch for that stuff.

@alex @GNUxeava wow. Just wow. I noticed a job posting for a devops engineer in my area for them. I won't touch it with a ten foot pole, and not just because of the politics, but because I can't stand this blatant lack of efficient programming, and all the technological missteps. I don't think it would be a very secure job.

@firestarter @GNUxeava @ethot @alex If we only look at their database clusters, the Scylla one costs 200$/hour, and the PSQL at 560-800$/hour. Probably they would be better off building a small datacenter themselves, but acquiring that much hardware now isn't easy either.
