WHY IS META DESTROYING ITS ENGINEERING ORGANIZATION?

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Meta has been known over the last two decades for being a unique, high-performance engineering organization. It had a 'move-fast-and-break-things' culture where engineers were empowered to do good work, focus on impact, and balance business interests with solid engineering. This has all changed in the past few weeks. This post looks at how bad things have become since April, what's happened, what's going through the minds of leadership, and the other factors causing the organization to demolish a proven, successful engineering culture in the most ruthlessly efficient way possible.
