Shipping Faster: Behind the Scenes of How We Built
summary
Team builds Meta.a in one month by recruiting platform experts from authentication, web platform, messenger storage and core infra, running parallel prototypes on a facebook.com staging page, and doing liberal copy and paste code reuse to avoid cross-repo coupling. They set up workstreams, automated review bots and mega chat for unblockers, then hard-cut the new domain. Outcome: logged-out mode accounts for ~50% of usage, and desktop use shows coding 8×, visuals 3×, summarization 7× more than apps.
