In a move that isn't at all shocking, the NY Times reporter didn't have much
interest in talking with me or any of the other Cheezburger Network developers
when she was in our office a few weeks ago.

If anyone is curious about the technical side of what we do and how we do it,
I'll gladly answer questions here.

Also, we're looking for software developers. We're in Seattle, and have a
strong bias for local talent, but we have a bunch of remote deveopers. Of the
dozen or so companies I've worked for, Cheezburger is hands down the best.
Srsly. Email martin@cheezburger.com if you're interested.

I'm sure from a reporter perspective it doesn't appear like there's much of a
technical side to what appears to be a wordpress blog with cats on it.

~~~
MartinCron
That's why I would expect a reporter to, when introduced to a bunch of
technical people to ask, "what? there's a technical side?"

Then we could talk about how we make systems to help the editorial team sort
through the 16,000 content submissions we get every day, or how we have a
public API so people can submit funny content from their applications.

The "wordpress blog with cats on it" is a very shallow view of the company.
There's a lot more going on than that.

So could you talk about some of that now? I'm genuinely curious.
