This is even more impressive knowing that its artisanal code, or as we called it back then, code.

Thanks so much for all the feedback! I'm signing off from answering comments.

When you get a chance give this post a read, we're investing in our personal users now more than ever. The features we've announced are just the beginning.

Thanks so much. We love to share how we build things with the tech community and we know the tradeoffs when we post them.

We're just a bunch of people doing our best to do right by our users.

Thanks for the kind words. I'm not at all responsible for this, but I'll pass it on to our sync team.

Honestly just use GitHub. My (high level) understanding of sync is file system issues file event for every file change, we receive it, determine if its relevant, and then make the appropriate delta. You can imagine with thousands (or millions) of small files this becomes nearly impossible to manage with an OS integrated sync engine.

FWIW I've passed this note along to our sync team but I don't have a ton of insight here.

Thanks so much!

Thanks so much! I had the realization recently that we don't talk a lot about what engineers do outside of writing code and the Plus launch was the perfect narrative to talk about it.
