- Force reassigned some of the best devs on teams to AI data labelling fulltime
- Laid off another 10%
- Started to record every dev’s screen in the US 24/7
They now realized that it has, indeed started to destroy their eng culture. And are now trying to walk back.
All of the above was unprompted, not forced by anything external or even business reasons (Meta recorded record revenue, record profits)
The biggest self-inflicted eng culture destruction I’ve seen in a matter of weeks
Obsess. For f*ck sakes. You only get one life. Don’t screw it up by being normal. Go all in. Act like a psycho. Let people call you insane. Please. I beg you. Obsession is the path.
