At Facebook there is no OWNERS so if you make an API change you can just update all the code yourself at once.
It makes it much easier to rapidly iterate and improve shared libraries.
- colonCapitalDee 3y agoYes, and it also makes it much easier for random people to break your code. It's a trade-off

I don't work for Facebook, but I'm often the person who does large scale refactorings - since I know I'm human I want an expert to verify those that look at all scary.
