Huh, how was the reputation determined? Was it like a quantified & automated thing, or more casual like, a senior developer decides you need to do more testing

Huh, how was the reputation determined? Was it like a quantified & automated thing, or more casual like, a senior developer decides you need to do more testing since you’ve broken too much stuff.
- giovannibonetti 3y agoGiven the thousands of developers there, I would assume it was automated. FB is known for having built great tooling for this kind of thing, like measuring how flaky each test is.
- disgruntledphd2 3y agoI think that it was originally up to the release engineers, but they probably automated it after they moved to continuous deployments. (chuckr, where are you now?).
- thephyber 3y agoI learned about this from outside, but my understanding was that negative reputation was earned when someone from the deployment or development team pointed to your code as being the reason a patch had to be rolled back. Presumably because it broke during CI on the master/release branch. Not sure if there were other was to earn/lose reputation points.
