I retrieve this legendary package technologist astatine Facebook. His sanction is Bob. Bob is simply a prolific technologist – he was responsible for shipping Facebook Groups (among different things). He was besides a hackathon legend, delivering deed aft hit.
At the clip I was a monolithic productivity nerd. I had a civilization Vim setup pinch my ain syntax highlighting and snippets for Hack (Facebook’s dialect of PHP). My elaborate setup progressive tmux complete mosh pinch civilization hphpd shortcuts and fancy git aliases.
Imagine my excitement erstwhile I sewage to beryllium adjacent to Bob astatine 1 of the company’s hackathons! I was prepared to get enlightened.
Bob opens his laptop and launches… vanilla Sublime Text. It doesn’t moreover person due syntax highlighting and half of the codification is colored incorrectly. Bob doesn’t usage unrecorded reloading. He doesn’t usage the debugger. Instead he sprinkles immoderate printf astir the codification and patiently waits for logs.
I was shocked. How the hellhole is he truthful prolific?
Unsurprisingly, Bob won the hackathon that day. I was truthful preoccupied pinch how he did things that I wholly missed what he was moving connected (I deliberation it was the support for buy/sell posts successful Groups, which later evolved into Facebook Marketplace). His merchandise sensation and intuition were much important than the editor setup he used.
I often deliberation astir that communicative erstwhile browsing X. Every day, personification invents a caller measurement of moving that promises to alteration everything. Some astir apt will. But yet what matters astir is solving the correct problems.
