Maciej is easily one of my favorite writers. And speakers! I recommend: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Vt8zqhHe_c

I just returned home from hauling most of my clothing to the local Goodwill. On a related note, I look forward to seeing more people wearing startup/conference t-shirts around NYC,…

FYI, station agents will merge/combine MetroCards for you, so you can recover small balances from old/unexpired ones.

Now you can download memes from 4chan marginally faster!! (I'm really glad they did this, because at 4chan's patented "SOON™" dev pace, it'll take us another decade to add native I…

Sounds like a good plan to me!

Good point -- frankly I'd suggest doing both (clean repo and revoke/replace the secrets). The developer in question simply overlooked the issue, and since we were busy spinning dow…

The goal was to create a framework through which people could safely test and report exploits. In addition, 4chan isn't in a financial position to dole out large bounties.

That may in fact be the harbinger of the Apocalypse.

We actually implemented Facebook Connect for April Fool's back in 2010. It was a real app and posted your 4chan post(s) to your Facebook wall. EDIT: Here's a screenshot -- http://i…

HELL HAS FROZEN OVER

Per meowface's comment, this code is ~4 years old. It's in a much better place now, but there's still a lot of room for improvement. The vulnerability wasn't in the main applicatio…

Eh, Stripe has way larger/more high profile customers than us, but yes we've been very happy with them.

We've been using Adzerk on 4chan for the past year and it's been a Godsend. We'd previously been using our own in-house rotation that had minimal reporting because every third-part…

Thanks Dan!
