    Being a part of startups and big tech in the past, I can say that Meta engineering/AI culture is very cutthroat to the point where folks tear down one another and throw people under the bus for their own personal benefit/gain. This was true when I was there around 2022 when the massive layoffs occurred. I’ve seen even competent/well-rounded engineers axed for the opportunity to distribute money elsewhere I.e “GenAI” engineers. It’s awful

      That's cool! Portal did have magical moments for me as well, but it just didn't have the scale for it to be worthwhile for Meta :/

    “Meta has the best engineers. We don’t need project management. We’re so good, and smart.”
    “Meta engineers are shortsighted, work on things that don’t have lasting impact, and write terrible code.”
    This entire conversation made me realize that Meta is as equally dysfunctional as every other company.

  • @ajohnson9630
    @ajohnson9630 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    I honestly don't think the engineers at any of these companies are anything special. It's just who is willing to tolerate the interview process, work culture, and corporate culture for what amount of money. That's not always top level people even though a percentage will be. It's entirely possible that the small percentage that are generate enough more than enough value to make up for things though.

    You should be fluent in Chinese to succeed now at Meta, else forget to feel like you are a part of team.

    • @RahulPandeyrkp

      It bothers me when engineers speak in a language other than English (not just Chinese). This is not only exclusionary for other employees, but it holds those people back well: www.jointaro.com/lesson/6WYNgaTJ9TAv46Tm60zU/english-communication-is-the-most-important-skill-for-immigrant-engineers/

      TH-cam has a new feature to test the performance across 3 different thumbnails. The goal of any experiment is to be able to learn -- you need to try options which could surprise you.

      @@RahulPandeyrkp No i completely understand. I just see too many thumbnails with people with that surprised/shocked look, prompting the viewer to quickly click and find out what the heck is going on -- only to find out that it's just an interview with an engineer.
      I just find TH-cam's approach to getting creators to be creative a bit deceptive. It's making people do absurd shit

    So Meta has the best of the best engineers, but also has “lowest code quality”. Shouldn’t the best engineers produce the best code? Or is best engineer really a measure of fastest engineer? Interesting things to think about. Great to hear about life inside of Meta.

      Classic case of the tyranny of metrics. Smart people will always game and exploit any system of performance measurement if there is advantage in it for them.

    I was an intern in Reality Labs in Summer 22, I bought 4 portal tvs for relatives(sent it to them) and use a Portal myself. Portals would have made a killing if they were sold in WhatsApp heavy markets. But USA is too Apple centric for that to happen
