Hah! Glad to hear some people got some use out of it. It was definitely a huge pain to work through all of that.

Real Estate agents post their own listings on Craigslist. There are companies who provide the fancy HTML templates you see real estate agents use, but Craigslist doesn't allow auto…

I worked at Placester for a couple of years and built the system that imports data from real estate agencies. When I left last year, we had coverage with around 90% of the MLS's in…

That's what errbit is for. You only have to use the Airbrake libraries for reporting the errors, and errbit hosted locally collects/notifies/displays them. If you already integrate…

Even with the iteration count, SHA512 is not exactly meant to be slow. They're taking the long way around to try and get the security of bcrypt... without just using bcrypt.

It was crypt-MD5, the fact that they call it MD5 with salt is generous at best. They seem to have made the decision to move to crypt-MD5. I don't really have any faith in their abi…

The invites weren't actually that bad, nothing like Gmail was initially. Most (Everyone?) had unlimited invites for a good 4-5+ hours. You could actually get in if you refreshed th…

I actually had the same concerns, but after going through it they give you two ways to solve that: One is you can set a backup phone to use to get into the account, it can even be …
