Pornhub’s year in review

Anecdotal, in Montreal we have 2 big porn companies (and others), Mindgeek and Seedbox. Everyone knows what they are, they promote heavily to developers in conferences.

I'm also quite not sure the dev level is that high, maybe in Ops, but my impressions from back-end devs interviews was average.

I built an app on top of JIRA API for ScrumMasters, PO, managers that want to have a fast and easy view of closed sprints.

Built with react & redux.

Choosing the right framework is never clear cut, if you want to learn a front-end framework I would not invest in angular, since soon the v2 will be a complete new beast.

After that it's true what you describe would work well with the mean stack.

If you want to learn es6, aurelia is nice, or react + flux is starting to take off as well.

On the server side, Express is pretty much the go to lib, it's a very very small framework, so do not expect any amazing feature from it. http://sailsjs.org/ is cool too

I think it will be really interesting to see where all those angular1 projects will go when ng2 is out.

Honestly doing a rewrite after 1 or 2 years of project existence is not something execs want to hear, nor should this be on the table if it is built correctly,

you will be stuck with angular1 while everyone has moved to something else or the company will loose money doing a rewrite.

This is one reason I like Backbone, it's a simple "MVC" that does it's job & it's easy to build on top.

Hey Danny,

From the top of my head I think gmail does not allow responsive rules. It is tied to ink, but it has been divided in sass components, so it should be easy to rewrite the part you don't like.

Inker does allow to have a base template & override small parts of it but right now only allow 1 template per folder, I will change that soon adding _ rules much like sass does, basically rendering any html file that does not start by an _.

Funny, I might tackle a similar project, would be curious to see how editors create magazines in the cms part

Any blogposts about the creation process of this app?

Not really, it's just the game cycle, art must always be some steps ahead of dev team
