It’ll be hard to hire engineers, managers, and office workers if they said they worked at Pornhub. But if they worked for mindgeek (or Aylo), it’s understood.

People think it’s all about dicks and orgies at pornhub but imagine the technical requirements serving millions of videos to visitors a day? There’s so much tech behind the scenes that even YouTube started stealing features.

Pornhub is not a porn company. Pornhub is a technology company.

Silicon Valley had a good episode about it. Can’t find the exact clip but here is the promo for the episode (slightly NSFW). There’s a speaker presentation in it that kinda talks about how porn has pushed technology (to comedic effect).

They actually have a really interesting GitHub. And they contribute a lot to open source projects.

Although the actual company side is kind of dodgy and they do some pretty awful things.

Yeah, it’s incredible that the workers there find the time to get the technical stuff done and still make it to the afternoon orgy. Any company that has the opportunity to hire a former pornhub worker should jump on themthe opportunity.
