Last week Chris and Haim announced to us that they're moving on from Etsy. They'll be at Etsy through the end of this month, sharing their knowledge of Etsy's systems, network architecture, and all things technical.
We owe so much to these two guys. They have given their lives to Etsy, all the way down to their sleep cycles. It's been an amazing three years: the team led by Chris, Haim, Jared and Rob built Etsy from an idea in Brooklyn to a global handmade marketplace.
We were immensely fortunate to have had Chris and Haim present at the creation, leading the company's technical efforts through Etsy's first three years. Please join us here at Etsy in wishing them many more successes.
Below is a personal note from Chris and Haim to the Etsy community.
---------------------------
Friends,
The last three years have undoubtedly been the longest and most eventful of our lives. We'd like to thank each and every one of you for enabling us to build Etsy into what it is today. Through many sleepless nights your kind words and commitment to the marketplace kept us going gladly forward. The cookies didn't hurt, either.
With a heavy heart now we move onto other ventures. We hope to stay in touch with many of you, and we wish the best of luck to our fellow Etsy employees.
– Chris and Haim

There are no words to describe how much you are loved and will be missed. Best wishes in everything you pursue in the future. Especially if that future still includes eating Brownstone Fries and pancakes with your Etsy friends.

Being a kinda geeky girl, Haim was my favorite Etsy admin (not to mention the jewish sorta name). Now I have to pick another unfortunate fav. And throw their face around the chat room.

It's too rare that people get to start their dreams and see it come to successful fruition...not only did you make your dream come true, but you helped hundreds of others live theirs - living off of their work. Thank you and good luck!
jellibat
wow I'm a bit shocked.
etsy wont be the same without haim on fire and revolving dork
so sad you guys need to leave the company to pursue your dreams when you were here from the beginning.
good luck in your future ventures. may they be as bright and exciting a journey as etsy .

Ah, I guess it's all a part of growing up...I agree with jellibat - etsy wont be the same without haim on fire and revolving dork.

Sorry to see you both go. A little part of Etsy will die without you. I also hope that you were able to reap some of the fruits of all your labor. You both worked too many long hours to not have been rewarded for your efforts.

Uh-ohhhh...this ain't good...
It must be hard to hand over your baby to the new boss (c'mon, is she really that bad? LOL) and it's disturbing to see you both departing Etsy.
Best of luck to you both, though - you did a fine job, and you'll be remembered as the innovators you are! I hope everything works out at Etsy the way everyone involved thinks/hopes/wishes it will.

There's probably no way you guys are sifting through to read all of these, but I can't let you go quietly.
Haim--I'm very upset that I have yet to hug you. No, really. (Darn the server days)
Thank you for everything. All of the late-night chatties in the old days and all of the downtimes and your hard work through the night keeping things going. I know only a small bit of how hard you work and i know you work very hard. I shall forever throw your head around in the chat rooms with giggles.
Chris--
Seriously, thanks for being playful in the forums when people freak out. You guys really have no idea how much you're appreciated.
I guess I can't tell you to code harder anymore.

noooooooooooooooooooooo.
I have to say, the spirit of this place is so ingrained in the two of you (haim on fire, the brick wall of error... the fun!!!). It's sad to see you go.
Hopefully one day, somehow, I'll get to meet one (or both) of you and state my thanks in person. Possibly with cookies.
Good luck good luck good luck to you! May you bring joy and silliness wherever you go.

I still owe the both of you an engagement at the Brownstone, a debt I fully intend to repay. I really appreciate the opportunity to work with the both of you, all of the work that you've done for Etsy, and just the chance to get to know a couple of great guys.
Thanks for everything, Chris and Haim.

Yes, truly the end of a wonderful era. Indiependance..
Now that our new "mom" is on board it seems to be turning out as Etsy meet Corporate America. I don't foresee this being a good thing.. As someone said earlier this ship must really be sinking if more are leaving. Especially those that helped found this wonderful site and community.
I truly wish you two the best of luck and happy journeys.
