I was leading the developer products team at Facebook back then and started a project around injecting remote capabilities into local dev. Short of it was that thousands of developers were waiting 45 minutes for cold builds... Part of the initial steps for the project was to map out the entire SDLC (so we can get a sense of what parts of the toolchains we need to rebuild), that's where that video above comes into mind if you look at that whiteboard towards the end... Visualizing how complex we've made it is what got me into the headspace of - this can't actually be how we go about this.
