Etsy does support rotations for engineers -- even our CEO does his share: https://twitter.com/chaddickerson/status/545313526626385920

This is what Trello organizations are designed for. An org is a collection of boards and a group of people, with permission control.
This is Fog Creek's org: https://trello.com/fogcreek
You'll just see our public boards, but we also have boards that are visible only to org members. Granting or restricting access to all of them is as simple as adding or removing a user. You can create and be a member of as many orgs as you want.
The team wrote a blog post describing their tech stack last year: http://blog.fogcreek.com/the-trello-tech-stack/
The biggest change since then is that Trello now runs on AWS, rather than colocated servers in NYC. But the software is the same.
tl;dr: "different languages are appropriate for different uses"

INTERNS
We're looking for interns to join the Trello, Kiln, and FogBugz dev teams here at the Creek in summer 2013. Our internship is paid ($5000/month) and includes private housing and awesome NYC experiences. You'll be working on shipping code alongside Fog Creek's fulltime developers. You will almost certainly not be required to carry buckets of diesel fuel.
Learn more and apply at http://www.fogcreek.com/Jobs/SummerIntern.html
And we're back! All Fog Creek services are back on line. Our datacenter has enough fuel for several hours and is working on getting a delivery of more. We are hoping that Kiln, FogBugz, Trello, and all our services will remain up, though things are still a bit dicey.
The details are all here: http://status.fogcreek.com/2012/10/fog-creek-services-update...
Thanks everyone for your patience!
We've shut down all of our servers to protect data, except some of the outermost infrastructure and gateways. That 503 is coming from HAProxy, our load balancer -- it's unable to send your traffic to any of the (powered-down) servers.
Yes, we have multiple off-site backups (cloud as well as an offsite storage DC) for all customer data. All data is still safe in NYC -- we've just brought down service to prevent problems in case of an abrupt power failure.
We are beginning to bring down all Fog Creek services (FogBugz, Kiln, Trello, etc.) as our datacenter is shutting down.
fogcreekstatus.typepad.com and @fogcreekstatus on twitter will continue to have updates.
edit: All Fog Creek services have been shut down ahead of power failure. We'll update the status blog as we know more from our DC.
16 megapixels packed into a 1/2.3" sensor? Ouch. That's the smallest sensor size on this image: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Sensor_sizes_overlaid_ins...
I hope DPReview does a review on this camera -- I suspect it's going to produce extremely poor photos.
We've switched our DNS provider and we're waiting for the change to propagate. http://fogcreekstatus.typepad.com/2012/07/index.html has all the details.

We're hiring co-ops and interns for Fall 2011 and (soon) for Summer 2012. We love expert coders in all languages (we use lots of C#, python, JS, but we're flexible). Internships are paid and tend to be 10-14 weeks, and include housing among other perks.

If you're looking for a "clean break", Google's httplib2 [1] might be what you want. It's somewhat lower-level than Requests, but adds a bunch of advanced stuff like caching support and keep-alives. As you might guess from the name, httplib2 is more like httplib, while Requests appears to be more like urllib2.
What I never liked about Quicksilver (and I really liked Quicksilver) is that I always had to look at it. I never knew if pressing "m" would get me Mail, Mozilla, or "Mail selected file as attachment". Quicksilver was often too smart and tried to do too much.
I have Twitch bound to my Option key, so I know that I can tap Option, then hit C, and I'll get Chrome, every time. It breaks my flow much less, and it's faster, to boot -- I timed that I can get Twitch open, use it, and have it closed in 600ms.
As to a more informative website: I'm considering this a minimum viable product, enough to get on sale and get feedback (like yours, thanks!). More everything is on the way.
Funny to see this today, since I just had my first app accepted to the Mac App store. It's called Twitch, and it's a launcher designed for power users and keyboard junkies: http://twitchapp.com
The official directory is at http://www.stackexchange.com/directory . I believe it's opt-in, but it's got quite a few sites.
