It feels like Windows Mobile. Meta has the early start, money, captive audience and enthusiasm, but they don't have the hardware/software edge (that Apple coincidentally also has this time around) to really make the idea work. The headsets are not going to revolutionize much running Facebook games on budget Qualcomm SoCs, and Facebook cant buy an Unreal Engine or an M2 Pro overnight.
cuts this big would have to be in the california WARN database. 0/10
Facebook is copying the blue check thing from Twitter. I wonder if Zuck will also copy firing 75% of the staff.. lol.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Maybe this will be true in the years going forward, but AFAIK even in 2022 they were still considered top tier FAANG to work for among new grads, if only for the fact that compensation is generally somewhat higher than their peers.
It's only higher than other big tech companies because they have so much difficulty hiring new grad. it's what's holding the funnel together, the moment comp drops compared to the others they will lose a ton of candidates.
There might be some exceptions for those working on Oculus, but it's not a blanket exception.

Engineering Managers will also begin to code again [1] [1] https://twitter.com/TitterTakeover/status/162873730347973836...
9/10 people who wants to be a manager are awful as software engineers and they know this is the only way they can stay in the game. Out of those who do become engineering managers it seems all they do is talk a bunch of nonsense and add tremendous levels of roadblocks because they suck at understanding the actual technical problems and I’ll be honest. They’re usually awful at understanding business needs too.
Get rid of eng managers.
Put in a team lead and a few people. If your teams are 20 people or something dumb just fire everyone and start over.
You don’t need battalions when the leaders aren’t even soldiers.
Just have fire teams where everyone is a soldier that reports to their team lead. These teams report to a director who is the battalion commander.
Managers should be rare. And they should be actually good at their job.
People don’t quit jobs they quit shitty terrible managers.
Feels like we are in the midst of a live experiment wherein we find out just how overstaffed tech companies are.
