So user @fiercyfirefox made a post discussing if zepto tech is good or bad (https://www.grapevine.in/post/zepto-tech-is-facing-really-bad-tech-debt-203ac312-9aa3-45dd-bb26-7eeab2c9c533)
Somehow ended up at their blogpost and immediately the second article caught my eye ( https://blog.zeptonow.com/everything-was-fine-until-kubernetes-said-no-more-cpu-3768cda76326 ). Now I'm kinda sus about how good are their engineering practices. Not throwing shades or anything, just want folks to weigh in their thoughts
(I understand that when things are going at breakneck pace and high burn, good practices must take the backseat and just getting things to launch take the front seat; however after a while certain guardrails should be setup to allow high velocity without having high fatality)
(The issue they faced is something that uber already faced and wrote a blog about, along with their own tooling -> https://github.com/uber-go/automaxprocs) (and also a few months back someone had posted a similar issue on r/golang)
Interesting, I work with java, so I don't have much idea. I want to ask people using Golang. Why isn't this standard? Wouldn't it be required by all?
Could anybody from Zepto or Ex-Zepto shed some light on their engineering culture. In the process of considering either Zepto or an early stage pre-seed startup.
My priorities in order:
heard their CTO left recently and the teams are built in a scrappy way without any process / framework in place. but they seemed to have achieved decent growth.
any current or ex employee who can comment more?
Tldr; Fully support it.

I read a lot of bad reviews on glassdoor, etc. How is the work culture at Zepto, is it really that bad ? Also, would like to get a data scientist pov as well.
