@0interestrates everyone's a principal engineer until zuck drops a 2k line diff and you have to decide if that nit is worth your badge access

it's easy to approve zuck's diff, but do you have the courage to request changes on zuck's diff? [image]

@GergelyOrosz yeah heard the same from a few friends who are eng leads that everybody is getting back to writing code one of the reasons folks mentioned is that once they see their leads adopting these tools - others will follow their lead as well

it'll be funny if zuck intentionally left a bug in the diff and then fired everyone approving it

Founders + C-level folks who come from a software engineering background are all getting back to it. Never seen eng leaders get hands-on with a previous technology at so many different places.
