I worked at Facebook and remember what it was like to first face the total complexity of the system.
It’s really hard for me to imagine myself working at a company that deals almost exclusively with machine-generated data (as Tesla does) and being assigned to judge a social platform’s engineering qualify in one day. Cars and spaceships on a closed network are fundamentally “clean” compared to having hundreds of millions of people who produce dirty and often adversarial data.
But I guess the point of this exercise isn’t really to judge code quality, but to drive fear at Twitter.
