ive spent 15 years in big tech companies, this problem is common and its why they pay engineers 500k-1M. this happens at meta literally all the time.
half of engineering in big tech is just rewriting a system to scale
microsoft is incompetent, they havent changed windows/excel/outlook in 30 years
- jeremyjh 1mo agoTell me about the time that an app at Meta grew at 10% a year for a decade and then began doubling every few months.
- mikert89 1mo agoits probably happened on half the core teams, idk what you want me to say, it sounds like you dont have alot of experience
- antiframe 1mo agoDon't dodge the question and attack the asker, that's rude.

- jascha_eng 1mo agoInstagram, Facebook and even threads all had much more mundane growth rates and definitely no unexpected jumps like GitHub is experiencing. I'm sure if suddenly the solar system had 10 more earths with each about 10 billion people and they would all start using Instagram tomorrow we would have exactly the same growing pains and outages that GitHub has today. Luckily for Meta agents are not yet as much into doomscrolling as humans are.
