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!

If you're not entirely qualified to comment, why did you do an AmA ? What is it that you actually are qualified to comment on ?

I have opinions on this if you want to hear those :D. I'm trying to comment with high quality answers that I strongly believe will help people. I actually know a decent amount about "the algorithm" but I'm not qualified to comment on the social responsibility of them. I have an academic and I know too many PhD grads in sociology that would make fun of me for trying to comment.
