This is my last week at Facebook. It's been a long 5 years and I'm ready to try something different. Extremely grateful for all the people I've worked with, I'm going to miss them.19:13 PM - 11 May 2020

I'm sure wherever he ends up next week, he'll continue to do great things.
Based on some replies to that Twitter thread, he will keep working on Rome at least part-time.
Yup, it's his baby I guess and it was already open source and Facebook will most likely benefit from it as well even if he no longer works for their organization.
Any idea where he is going?
In the Tweet thread, he said he’d mention it next week, once he starts working wherever he ends up at.
