I'm pretty sure almost all of this team was laid off (certainly the people I knew who worked on it were).

This is actually a clone of an internal FB tool (written by the same author after he left FB).

That's really sad news. The crew I interacted with (Alex, Omari, Tobias, others) were top-flight engineers who also really understood the problem space and how to navigate the internal complexities of Meta. Hope the laid off / repositioned staff are OK, and if they're looking for new opportunities my email's in my profile.
