I’m Michael. I was a principal engineer at Facebook from 2009 to 2017, where I was the top code contributor of all time and also conducted hundreds of interviews. I recently co-founded Formation.dev, an engineering fellowship that trains and refers engineers directly into big tech. Ask me Anything!

I was trying to use the LOC as a an example of the scope of my work. I was also a person who cranked out code and they created the Coding Machine Archetype for me to get to the E7 level. And yes, talking about LOC and PR count annoyed a lot of people at Facebook too :P. A superstar sports team needs the best people in the best positions and each person has impact in different ways.
