Rabble on Nostr: My friend was CTO over at friendster and what he said was they had massive scaling ...
My friend was CTO over at friendster and what he said was they had massive scaling problems, but instead of turning off feaures and getting some quick fixes they spent a couple years rewriting the core while ignoring the running service. By the time they got their tech in order a core of users left for MySpace and eventually Facebook.
Friendster was killed by the big rewrite.
