The problem when working for Meta is that if you do a good job, you've helped make the world worse... so the real heroes are the people wasting money and reducing efficiency

If you're at all competent, go work somewhere else

That’s an extremely reductive view.

Whatever you think of Meta core products, they pay a ton of people to work on various open source projects, do R&D on things which are only tangentially related to social media like VR or data center tech.

There is worse way to get a paycheck to do what you are interested in.

The core product is somewhat relevant though

That you can get paid and have fun doing it, doesn't make the product better.
