Wunderlist

But, you know, you care about what's fast and easy to generate, what's cheap to run, what's secure, what performs well in production.

And, you know, a story from, like, this Wunderlist place where I was doing crazy stuff with the heterogeneous architecture we launched a major rewrite and sort of like, it was actually another euthanization thing, but we launched this and we had something like 800 EC2 instances running on the day of the launch because it was very popular and the previous launch had been a disaster.

Over the course of six months, we replaced something like 60% of the system that had been in Ruby with Closure, Scala, Go, and Rust.

And we reduced the operating cost of the thing by something like, I don't know, 80%.

There's a large photo of a mountain range behind your to-do list.

Well, so I think that Microsoft turned Wunderlist into the Microsoft to-do app, which is actually okay.

Oh, I don't know what the Wunderlist is that I'm looking at then.

Well, it doesn't exist anymore.

This does look like Trello.

We had to book the shoots and we had, you know, all this other stuff to do.

And at some point in like 2014 or 2013, I was just like, I can't keep track of this all.

And that's when I started using Wunderlist.
