After ten years, I am leaving Facebook.
I am starting a company.
It has been an incredible experience for which I am grateful.
I will also be investing more in startups as opportunities arise, and investing in open source projects/communities including @reactjs related technologies, @reasonml, UI frameworks, programming languages.
Thank you everyone for the outpouring of encouragement and gratitude. I assure you that out of everyone, I have gotten the most from of this journey. An incredible - no unbelievable - story so far. A new chapter begins. One paragraph at a time.

npm package malware is also a technology problem. Deps should be built at install time, on-host from original inspectable sources but npm practice is to build at package publish time so it runs everywhere w/out a build step. How badly you want JS to "not" be a compiled language!
So you have everyone turning their "JS" into *actual* JavaScript in a way that obscures the original intent, allowing things like the recent vulnerability to slip in easily. To fix this you need a completely different package management philosophy centered around.. Builds!
You can't easily take existing npm packages and run their publish steps at install time on your host, for many many reasons - these transpilation/minification toolchains are huge because they *could* be - they were just publish time dependencies that were dropped once published.

Hot take: Single page documentation is superior to documentation that spoon feeds three paragraphs at a time to you with prev/next pagers at the bottom.
1. Use command+f to search for things like you always do.
2. Easier to keyboard navigate.
3. Can still hyperlink to headers...
4. Instantly gives you all of the docs "offline". Just keep a browser tab open or save the HTML or print to pdf.
5. From maintainer's standpoint, no need to sign up for some service that you (might have to) pay to index your search.
6. Search works in offline mode too because you don't need to connect to a service.
