@twitter more history research: When was the ads team started? And where did they come from?
-
-
@avibryant Roetter from Monetization and Weil from Data Products? Also, were they both ICs at Twitter originally? -
@peterseibel Kevin had I think become a PM with the formation of Data Products, Alex was an IC on monetization.

@peterseibel "data products" had in turn come mostly from Dabble DB, plus IIRC one ex-Yahoo (John Corwin), one ex-Google, and Kevin. -
@avibryant And are these the people who created the science repo? Or was that yet another group of data scientists? -
@peterseibel@avibryant the science repo was made by@abdur and team iirc -
@matasar@avibryant@abdur And what team was that? And how was it that the ads code base ended up in science? Because it was in Java? -
@peterseibel@matasar@avibryant@abdur Ad BE was in monetization and moved to science late 2010 IIRC. FE was in monorail until Q2 2011. -
@greenberg@peterseibel@matasar@abdur also, before my time, but adserver started in Scala and was rewritten to Java, right? -
@avibryant@greenberg@peterseibel@abdur that's also my recollection - 7 more replies
