Facebook... scale...
Uhuh, remember "X can't handle our scale", from Simon Whitaker?
Seems they have purged the slides since then, best I was able to find was this:
https://darkcoding.net/software/facebooks-code-quality-problem/
Has anyone a copy of that PDF file?
Although I despise their software, I do enjoy their engineering blogs, thanks for sharing.
By "software" do you mean their products or their actual (open-sourced?) software?
Great call out.
Definitely their products. I think things like buck2 are rad.
Of interest to me is the fact that both Google and Facebook, which are structured around a large monorepo, dropped git in favour of mercurial (of which sapling is a fork in the instance of facebook).
Businesses operating large repos should really consider giving mercurial a renewed look IMO.
