Lauren (poteto) has pushed back on a commit-count critique, saying Meta has its own source-control system and her commits aren’t all public. You’ve heard of judging a book by its cover; welcome to auditing an engineer by the bits of the bookshelf you’re allowed to see. The screenshot she shared attempts to turn React commit categories into a productivity verdict. Her rebuttal doesn’t establish her total output; it challenges using public commits as the whole scorecard. We haven’t independently verified the screenshot’s counts. But the methodological problem is worth keeping: you can’t count private work by staring harder at a public profile. If your performance review requires every commit to be visible, congratulations—you’ve invented software engineering for glass houses.
