“GitHub opened all that up: workflows, pull requests, the whole thing.”
“We were already using GitHub for other things. We now use GitHub Actions to work like a much larger team.”
“If something as essential as the code repository is down, developers can’t do their work."
“We’re not just consuming, but also actively contributing back to the open source communities that we come from.”
“We’re getting developers from across the industry, different perspectives, diverse perspectives. We love to see the growth of developers. It’s social, and we’re a social company.”
“It feels like it’s been a community from the start and that’s the way Meta is as well.”
“We want to make sure that developers using the projects are getting the resources, documentation, and tutorials that they need to actually do the work successfully.”
“We want to make sure that people at Meta who are responsible for maintaining these projects can see the data and information they need to keep projects going.”
“We were able to build a tool that integrates with the API, and it’s now used by a majority of developers in PyTorch when they’re developing these multi-step changes on the project.”
“Students go from just loving video games but having zero knowledge of development to being full-fledged programmers."
“Our students spend their time building and debugging real applications.”
“Our philosophy is that if we teach them one object-oriented language in-depth, they can easily learn another one later."
“We use GitHub as a community management system–kind of like a social network."
“Just by being open source and publicly visible on GitHub, we have developers who directly contact us with bugs.”
“We leverage quite a lot of community input to design the roadmap."
