People will likely react on the assumption that Facebook is lying here but honestly, I believe this. Facebook is the company that had to build not one but two whole superset languages to stop their engineers from constantly crashing everything all the time....Permalink On twitter.com

Totally believable that Facebook has no idea just how much it is collecting on you b/c they bought into the philosophy that everyone just saves everything and figures it out later and then lots of people are copying chunks into closer-to-project DBs or static files etc...Permalink On twitter.com

Is Facebook watching everything you do? Yes Is Facebook storing it? Sure Is Facebook organized at this or is it just a messy college room floor where data is strewn everywhere & occasionally some ML or person picks up two pieces of paper and discovers everything about you.

"Effectively the code is its own design document often." is like a reoccurring nightmare but every engineering manager constantly wakes up to it instead of from it.Permalink On twitter.com

I mean, is it *impossible* on a technical level as stated in this article. It's not *impossible* it's just extremely hard, time consuming and not profitable for them to do.Permalink On twitter.com

IMO any engineering manager or privacy engineer is likely reading this article and going to the bar, pouring themselves a big glass of whisky and quietly going 'yuuuuuuuuuuuup' under their breath.Permalink On twitter.com

All this is totally believable. Is it impossible to fix? No. Is there any incentive for Facebook to fix it? I dunno dude, it is likely cheaper for Facebook to just keep getting fined than to fix and maintain the fix for this problem, unless fines go way up.Permalink On twitter.com

The lesson: Any engineer tells me their code is 'self-documenting' or 'its own design document' and I send them straight to documentation bootcamp and so should you or one day you might be sitting in court being like 'man judge, I don't know how any of this stuff actually works'On twitter.com
