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!

Thanks everyone for a great AMA! I was honestly a little nervous about talking about my experiences at Facebook since there's a lot of controversy around it recently, but I enjoyed the great discussions. If you have more questions keep posting on the thread and I'll try to answer with a little slower response time! Finally, May the 4th be with all you engineers out there!
