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!

Why do this? Haven’t you made enough money? Do you not feel at least a bit remorse or embarrassment or shame for the damage you helped do to our world?

I firmly believe the world will be a better place with more diverse engineers working at companies like Facebook and Google.
