From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Pornhub is lowkey a very skilled tech company. Delivering a quality video platform on the scale they do is incredibly difficult.
Also obligatory: Year of the Linux Desktop! 🎉
Apart from hosting an ad service that served malware, and having their user database leaked more than once.
I made it to the final round of interviewing with them a couple years ago. I think it would have been interesting to work for them. They have PHP and even some Laravel in their stack.
Can't believe they turned you down. Would've loved to hear about PH developer stories
Yeah I was a bit surprised too, they even told me how well I did during the interview and how I was getting stuff right that most of their candidates get wrong, and they made it seem like I should expect an offer from them. I think the dealbreaker was that I hadn't worked with message brokers before.
First time I've heard of message brokers. I guess I'll have to learn that if I want a job with PH
If you want a computer programming job with them then yeah definitely.
I don't like their company because they are also like the meta of porn in the sense that they bought up all their competitors and have made a monolith service
Netflix but for horny people
"Netflix and chill" has lead me to believe those 2 Ven diagrams overlap quite a lot
Pornhub and get to it
"Netflix and chill" but with a distinct lack of chill.
apparently: the same goes for its patrons; i'm sure i'm responsible for atleast 1 percentage point. lol
