Skroutz's engineering team, from the Greek price comparison site, writes about infrastructure, Rails, Go, SEO, and a Linux kernel bug.
HN commenters link its kernel bug write-up on modulo arithmetic and describe Skroutz as a solid company with bare metal infrastructure and a strong engineering culture.
Skroutz[1], a Greek price comparison website, uses a bare metal infrastructure[2] and has a strong engineering culture[3]. Skroutz is a success story in Greece and looks pretty solid.
