I swear I saw this exact post before.

Looks like I wasn't wrong: https://news.ycombinator.com/reply?id=39048070&goto=item%3Fi...

I agree with all of that and I still hate Facebook.

Facebook has amazingly good engineers doing amazingly good engineering. Huge contributions to open source. Fantastic pay. Amazing job of growing junior engineers into good senior engineers.

However, the products they build still seem like they generally makes the world a worse place, and that's probably more important.

It's refreshing to hear this, I've always been a bit confused that people look down on Meta with disdain. They are doing stellar open source work, I use their frameworks/libraries all the time, there is lots to be thankful for. In regards to 1, its notable they weren't involved in the anti-poaching lawsuit: https://www.cnet.com/tech/tech-industry/apple-google-others-...

That's not too say I'm a sycophant, just that the level hate they get seems ungrounded.

I've always liked Zuck and his orgs but not necessarily any of their products.
