There's an interesting bit in the below interview with George Oates about how in the early days of Flickr the staff would hang out and use the site along with normal users, and that this made them approachable and development faster.

"Our Mission Is To Keep Flickr Pictures Visible for 100 Years" (with George Oates), video, 53 minutes, 20 November 2025.
