Especially since I'm willing to bet the code for this site is spaghetti as fuck after all the shit it's been through as far as development goes.
I don't really even know who originally built this site, but I'm just going to state outright that they are a high level coder that could work as a senior, if not a tech lead for a lot of startups. This site actually does a huge amount of stuff, and is extremely impressive for a side project. There are definitely guys that I known that work at big time companies that would struggle to build a site of this magnitude part time.

One of the biggest, if not the biggest reason that this site got huge back in the day over other forums and stuff is because it is such an advanced site.
