For the record, I am the owner of Techomical. Anyone could have discovered the second posting by visiting Facebook Secrets, so it does not matter that I posted first.

For the record, we don't read your blog and did not see your post.

Firstly, "he" is a catch all for humankind when gender is unknown ("they is technically incorrect, although he/she can be used). And secondly, there's about a 90% chance it's a he anyway.

Looks like Mashable did to Techomical, what Facebook Secrets allegedly did to Trae. I love the hypocrisy. On my feed, Techomical's post is "chronologically" first.

// Holy shit, is this the cleanest f*** frontend file you've ever seen?!

Very educational :-)

The only thing I learnt from this is that they are not using object oriented methodologies which in the long run helps maintenance and enhancement. I was kind of surprised.

Man I kinda feel sad for Facebook. . .But I guess in the end it is all for the better.

Looking at it you can't extract anything from that code, since the real meat of the search is done in $_SERVER['PHP_ROOT'] . '/lib/s.php' which they don't have the source of.
