I believe you cannot force push anymore.

Agree. Wasn’t aware of force push (2021-2022).

That is probably for the best.

In the bad/fun old days of extremely small on-call loop, a less clear/organized escalation chain, and fairly "roll your own" per-team tooling, once in a blue moon a whole business unit would be down because 10k machines were crash-looping and you just needed `if (NULL == ptr) return;` on like one line to end the carnage. There are exceptions to every rule I suppose.

But in 7 years at FB I think I force slammed someone else as reviewer with merely their verbal approval in the middle of the night 2 or 3 times, and never after like, 2015.

One can imagine that auditors were not particularly enthused about this :)

Oh anything on user data or money or illegal content shit or anything like that is a whole different ballgame.

They mail you the shit off your desk for playing games with any of that stuff, and it’s thoroughly, thoroughly checked.
