11:41Michael Yehuda RothschildHey! Sorry to hear you're doing this on Friday night!

11:42████no probs this is an important topic :)

11:42Michael Yehuda RothschildYou should seriously say no to this stuff

11:42████it's kind of my fault, too much of this stuff is in my head i need to be less of a single point of failure

12:02Michael Yehuda RothschildQQ for you, is Guy aware of the gap in resourcing you highlighted to cover tablestakes P1 work?

12:04████yep it's a P1 in our roadmap and a highlighted risk in our child safety deep dives

12:04████before my time (when covid hit), the decision was made to prioritise our (tiny) amount of review capacity for English only, FB only

12:05████which means 1% of total reports. Our goal this half it to be able to deal with 100%

12:05████and i'm pretty shocked i had to fight for resource to close that gap

12:05Michael Yehuda RothschildYou should just escalate this stuff directly to Guy or let me know and I can do that

12:05Michael Yehuda RothschildWe have ~1000 ENG across Integrity.

12:06Michael Yehuda RothschildWe should be able to find a few ENG to help close these gaps :)

12:06████yeah, i'm getting a bit tired of us being traded off against far more mild harms. I feel like all i do is escalate

12:06████luckily this one got approved by Amit

12:06Michael Yehuda Rothschild(y)

12:07████look at this i had to deprioritise goals AGAIN today because we have such a massive codebase to maintain https://fb.workplace.com/groups/135709743752034/permalink/852306742092327/

12:07████anyway, rant over have a fab weekend

12:09Michael Yehuda RothschildHow big is your team? It could be that the baseline resourcing needs some revisiting such that you don't have to constantly escalate.

12:11████5 eng, 1 open head + 2DS, 1DE

12:11Michael Yehuda RothschildAnd this is to cover all child safety problems? i.e. IIC, CEI etc?

12:12████plus the multiple other problems that i have to 'non goal' on no sexual child abuse - child nudity

12:12████which means i practice we have like 1 engineer for all of IIC, one for all of CEI etc

12:13████which feels pretty wild to me

12:13Michael Yehuda RothschildOuch. ok, let me see if I can help. I feel for you...

12:14████i'm sure our strategy is correct, and our priorities are correct, we're just hamstrung on team size do you know He's our eng director, i know he's plugged in with Pavni to try to solve this, might be worth joining that conversation

12:15Michael Yehuda RothschildEnjoy the rest of your weekend!

12:15Michael Yehuda RothschildYes, I know

12:15████likewise!
