The internal tools at Meta are incredible tbh. There’s an ecosystem of well-designed internal tools that talk to each other. That was my favorite part of working there.

A friend of mine is doing his PHD while being an intern at Meta. He does not share your excitement... at all. To summarize his complaints: a framework written a long while ago with design flaws that were cast in stone, that requires exorbitant effort to accomplish simple things (under the pretense of global integration that usually isn't needed, but even if was needed, would still not work).

Meta tools are best in class when the requirement is scale. Or that the external tools haven't matured yet

#14can I, a mere mortal, use it?

#15Can this be downloaded somewhere? Couldn't find any link in the open source site: https://opensource.fb.com/ nor the ELI5: https://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/2021/09/20/eli5-be...
I don't believe Bento has been open-sourced.
interesting that they make external articles about it

"Oh that's cool.", "It'd be interesting to work on problems like that.", "That's a neat solution"
If anyone's on the fence about applying, that could be enough to nudge them in the direction. If anyone's worked in similar areas, could be worth applying and looking at the team, etc.

#17this is cool! wish there was a commerical product that did this. marimo does something similar, but you have to do the deployment yourself

Polar opposite of my experience. To achieve the technical equivalent of changing a lightbulb, spend the entire day wrangling a dozen tools which are broken in different ways, maintained by teams that no longer exist or have completely rolled over, only to arrive at the finish line and discover we don't use those lightbulbs anymore. Move things and break fast.
IMO there's a mix of a few really good, widely used, well-supported tools as well as a long tail of random tiny tools where the original team is gone that are cruftier.

Totally agree, although odd that the post was tagged as "open source."
