Not to sound as old or anachronistic but I kind of watch this stuff happening and wonder when all those useless bubbly conveniences are going to burst. Never had any account on facebook, twitter, instagram, viber, whatsapp etc. Last similar stuff i used was IRC and ICQ. Some Messenger and skype but i abandoned those long ago. Now I only use discord when I am gaming or wanna talk to a friend and I am sitting in my des…

If you are Spotify, it provided a seamless experience for millions of people to sign up for their service. Now they have a lockin problem, and need to figure out how to migrate those accounts to another authentication service. And for Communication, you never use Slack? It's useful to segment your communications by type, I don't want to give random Tinder ladies my home phone number.

I don’t use tinder. I don’t use slack

Nothing to do with scuba, and if you did any operational work you'd know that it's in the category of tools that are often flaky due to lack of QA. It's also worth noting that the link you provide only shows 41 listings, and most of those merely mention "familiarity with QA" in some boilerplate for what's obviously a developer position. Leet reading skills you have there. Percentage-wise, there are fewer true QA positions there than we have E-10s. For a company that hires 10K a year, that's indistinguishable from zero.

> AR/VR, Oculus, portal and workplace

In other words some small percentage of the company, none of it near me. All of the systems that the profitable parts of Facebook rely on - to provision systems, monitor systems, store data, move data around, analyze data, etc. - rely entirely on developer testing. So here's an amended statement to make you happy.

"99.9% of Facebook has no QA, and the rest has really bad QA."

Thats not what you said originally was it?

just over 10% of job openings have something to do with testing or QA. Of course QA is similar to software engineering, the whole point is to automate testing.

> [AR/VR, Oculus, portal and workplace..][..is] some small percentage of the company

yeah, go look at the headcount.

> none of it near me.

Now we are talking.

> rely entirely on developer testing

again, that wasn't the distinction I was making. It doesn't matter who's testing, so long as it gets done properly. Considering PE is a blended role. Its not a hard push to think that testing might be part of the role of a modern developer. Mind you, so is writing documentation, but thats not a priority either.

Many of the ads teams have dedicated QA, too.

So do what the GP was hinting at and drop support for Facebook login, drop the SDK, wash your hands and sleep better as well.

this is not how real life works, you don’t get to choose all the features and you can’t quit jobs every time you’re asked to integrate a sdk. also, you are suggesting that it is a good option to drop support for all the customer accounts that have used fb login, this is silly. sometimes i wonder if you people lost all the connections with the reality... or if you were ever employed.

I've been everything from making more money than I needed to homeless and borrowing couches and front porches in winter.

I've also refused to include Facebook in my life even though the majority of my extended family practically live there and rarely communicate outside of FB posts. My wife and I just get text messages on the rare occasions instead.

Yes, been employed and unemployed. And I'm under no illusions that FB login support will get dropped anytime soon. I can still lobby for the desirable alternative.

Heavy restrictions on how apps use third party SDKs for signing in, forcing FB to change its policy of requiring the SDK for native apps which use FB to sign in. And then reject new app updates which don’t follow the new rules. Or just outright ban this spyware.

Yes because government officials know enough about technology to pass those types of laws.

I’m talking about Apple.
