In March 2018, amid the Cambridge Analytica scandal, Facebook teams, including the games team, reevaluated their data policies and external developer relationships, leading to significant API and platform changes. During this period, the Instant Games team, where the author worked, conducted audits to decide which APIs to shut down or accelerate the deprecation timeline. The author was responsible for sending emails to developers about these changes, using a feature gate to determine which email each company should receive. However, due to a misconfiguration of the gate's pass percentage, the strict message was mistakenly sent to all companies, highlighting the importance of setting default values appropriately and updating configurations accurately. The narrative also touches on the author's experiences with experimentation culture at Statsig, emphasizing learning from failures and the evolution of product strategies through A/B testing insights.
