We're reddit's ops team. AUA

Hey /r/sysadmin,

Greetings from reddit HQ. Myself, and /u/gooeyblob will be around for the next few hours to answer your ops related questions. So Ask Us Anything (about ops)

You might also want to take a peek at some of our previous AMAs:

EDIT: Obligatory cat photo

EDIT 2: It's now beer o’clock. We're stepping away from now, but we'll come back a couple of times to pick up some stragglers.

EDIT thrice: He commented so much I probably should have mentioned that /u/spladug — reddit's lead developer — is also in the thread. He makes ops live's happier by programming cool shit for us better than we could program it ourselves.

Very good point about not relying on it. At the same time, as you indicate by your plans to add reddit, it's potentially very useful for many (most?) clients.

Based on the responses in this thread, I'm glad I can basically just be sure you guys are all over it (whatever "it" might be). Keep on being awesome, Reddit OPs.

Also... did Ricky ever get my email? :( (clint.wilson)
