In 2009, LinkedIn introduces its new engineering chief, David Henke.
Before joining LinkedIn, he had worked as an engineering boss at Yahoo.
His experience had been mostly spent rebuilding outdated technology, but he wanted to significantly reduce the company downtime.
He spends the next few weeks of around-the-clock coding, which includes an office happy hour, rebuilding LinkedIn’s technology from the ground up, significantly reducing downtime.

During the next several weeks of round-the clock coding, the engineering team rebuilt LinkedIn’s technology from scratch, significantly reduced downtime.
