try pasting into any facebook text-entry widget (e.g., chat). editing is completely broken. multi-paragraph text is chopped off when submitted. etc. rather amazing when you consider how much money software engineers make at that company.

Engineers don't often get to chose the features they work on, or to what degree they get polished. If it amazed me, I would direct such amazement to the correct person :`D

your point is well taken. software engineers are often subject to the whims of PMs and execs, and aren't always able to pursue the level of excellence they (the engineers) might prefer.
