Hi! Jeremy from The Post here. We’re still evaluating what it would mean for us to run an instance. But we’re definitely adding rel=me to our author profile pages ASAP.
I did! We had a brainstorming. It was initially (during development) called "Shazongress" but we couldn't get that one out of committee.
Hi! I'm Jeremy, one of the developers. We'll probably work on something like this for the next version. One reason it's harder than you think: We would have to buy / own rights to the photographs before we could use…
The House allows iPads on the floor, and reporters are allowed to bring laptops into the gallery. It's how we get our live votes transcribed! https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/08/insider/how-we-beat-the-h...
Even worse (weirder), the Senate bans electronic devices on the floor. If a Senator wants info, they have to sprint out one of the doors to the lobby where they have an aide waiting with an iPad (usually).
Oh, that is interesting. Also, hi Jon!
Yup! That's what we do! (Hi, I'm Jeremy, the developer who worked on this software)
The New York Times | Developer, mobile web | NYC | Full-time | Onsite | https://www.nytimes.com/ We're looking for a seasoned front-end developer to make our web-based interactive projects performant and more reflective…

This is absolutely correct.
Thank you. We worked hard on our last two or three job advertisements. This represents the culmination of probably 8 months of conversation and experimentation.
We open-source an awful lot of our code, including our entire 2016 general election codebase. https://github.com/newsdev/
I'm Jeremy Bowers, and I'm hiring for this job. If you have questions, I'll be monitoring this thread or you can email me: jeremy.bowers@nytimes.com.
You know the saw about software development; if the features are fixed, flex the deadline. We're the opposite: We can't move a general election or we might have to respond to breaking news. We value your ability to make…
Hi! We're a mix of Python, Ruby, Node and the occasional bit of Go. We decided not to add that to the job description because we don't make our hiring decisions based on command of a particular language. If you have…

There hasn't been an acknowledged S3 outage since April 2009 that we can find. Also, we use two different buckets in different geographic availability zones to allow us to stay up if one AZ goes out. Finally, our…
I can attest that it's unintentional. We roll pretty informally. And, frankly, we're pleased that anyone outside of the small (and insular) news apps community is reading about our setup.
For elections 2012, we actually used S3 buckets in two different availability zones and CloudFront to abstract away the backend. In the event that we lost a geographic region, we planned to switch to a different S3…
We're trying to do as much in the open as we can! The way we figure it: If public media can't share code, who can?
We do use EC2 for cron, but could easily use a laptop instead if there were an outage. Some of our more dynamic projects do require a server; the inauguration project that uploaded photos to Tumblr did, for example.…
Most of our sites run entirely on S3. While we do have a cron server running, we could just as easily ship the updated JSON files from one of our laptops. In fact, for the 2012 election, our fallback in case EC2 was…
Actually, I've decided that ProPublica's approach is pretty weak by comparison. There are other shops doing it much better.
Danno12, there's a fairly sizable Django community in media because the software was developed by a newspaper's tech staff (the Lawrence Journal-World). There's some good Rails development happening too, with the NY…
Good work like this getting done in small- and medium-sized newsrooms all around the country thanks to frameworks like Django and the work-at-all-hours ethos that reporters and developers tend to share. Kudos for taking…
