This company is a blight on humanity. It’s rotten through and through. Good people go to work for it and try to reform it and they either get corrupted by the money or chewed up and spat out. It cannot be fixed.
It’s actually very funny that it took them a week to come up with “how dare you impugn the motives of the hard-working billionaires and millionaires who have a fiduciary responsibility to maximize growth and profit at all costs”
The @WSJ series raises serious & complex issues. It's absolutely legitimate for Facebook to be held to account. But it contains deliberate mischaracterizations of what we are trying to do & confers egregiously false motives to our leadership & employees. about.fb.com/news/2021/09/wh…
Die Leute haben einen guten Ausblick verdient, nicht nur einen verlässlichen. Die Idee, wir öffnen Ende Oktober, koste es was es wolle, wird unserer Verantwortung nicht gerecht. Mit 2G und der Ansage, wir öffnen komplett wenn 85% geimpft sind, erreichen wir Erfolge wie Dänemark.

"My JSON API is insane, it gets updated all the time to deal with new app requests, there's a ton of undocumented stuff, it breaks constantly, we are on like v55, it's a mess..."
"You should try using hypermedia..."
"lol, what is this, 1998? lmao"

"Wenn diese Diskussion eins ist, dann scheinheilig. Sie ist Ausdruck einer normalisierten dt. Sehnsucht, die Deutungshoheit über Antisemitismus gegen Minderheiten in Anschlag zu bringen. Ob diese nun jüdisch,muslimisch oder links sind"

In my bubble, I observe the opposite: Almost everyone seems to agree it’s utter BS with 0 value at all, something which I consider to be just as misguided. As usual, truth, middle, etc.
Here's one #appleEvent speech I genuinely found really inspiring. "you can write amazing Web 2.0 and Ajax apps that look exactly and behave exactly like apps on the iPhone…You don't have to worry about distribution: just put them on your internet server"

There are a few pervasive fallacies that make software hard:
1. We need accurate, precise estimates
2. Low output is motivation-based
3. We need to get more work started
4. Throughput comes from isolated individual coders
5. We need to program faster
