3 weeks, but who's counting. Also, the codebase wasn't thrown out. Some bits definitely were (we had a fair amount of legacy given 7 years), but large parts of the same team (e.g. SVP of Product, VP of Engineering) that built our

Brilliance. I'd suggest snagging Bothsidesofthesandwich.com and translating the rest of Mark's content for consumption by the rest of the world. You clearly have a knack for it.

Ouch. I'm sorry to hear that. Given that we're located in Dubai, we seem to generally be routed via your Singapore data centre. It would be nice if HTTPS traffic for paying customers was re-routed automatically to an alternative l

Nice one! Our team had a great time building the experience at JadoPado. A couple of weeks to change out search completely, get full faceting as well as additional indexes to support everything in Arabic. I continue to be blown away by Alg
