I have a background in web development, but my work has been pretty dull and mundane compared to chess.com. I'm deeply impressed by the technical achievement and would love to know something about what is under the hood. For example, any front-end frameworks, or do they roll their own? What sorts of technologies and languages and techniques are used in the back end? Or are these trade secrets and none of my business?
