For people into virtual reality, I think it could be fun to work on the metaverse.

Fairly fresh code base, no pesky users, so no uptime problems, lots of experimentation to do to figure out what works and what not.

On the downside, the probability of finding something that really works and shipping it isn’t high, and that of producing something great extremely low, and the probability that you can spend a career there is low, too, but if you can live with that, I think there could be fun jobs there.

Facebook has mau of 266 million people in Canada + US. 2.96B globally. Easily the largest social network on the planet.

Canada only had a population of ~39 million. That’s impressive!

That’s why it’s a combined number with the US.

I can read. I swear.

Is that with shadow profiles and all thumbs up button impressions, or really half a planet uses face book at least once a month.
