Head of Support in the AdTech space here. Rotating Devs into the Support-Team is exactly what we do. The QuiRe – for QuickResponse – leaves his Feature-Team for the 2-week sprint period and gives helping hands to Support-Staff. As DevOps belongs to this team as well, the QuiRe can hack on small DevOps issues in the spare time. Brings in some nice knowledge distribution as well...

We at Adcloud.com – a technology provider for exchange of online advertising – did something similar with our Real-Time Data (clicks, conversions, retargeting, impressions etc) in our last Hackathon. WIP, though ;)

Funny that after more than a week this linkbait story hits HN. Original or not ;) In fact those views happened and are still there: They were just tranfered to the Vevo channel. Read more at http://www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/industry/digital-and-mobile/w...

I'd rather be shocked if they don't do it (think viruses, trojans, hoaxes etc)

The article is worth a read as well...for a weekend...or a three week vacation...
