That sounds unfair. Of course you very accustomed to working with tools you work with every day, especially if they're good. You'll also never find a 1:1 match between companies though and not-bad people can switch between systems as needed. Unless you need an intermediate level boilerplate writer ready to go with tech X and Y from day 1, it should be fine.

Why not say: These are people experienced with systems that work well. Maybe they can bring those workflows over and improve the company when they come here.

Because it's pretty clear the point of the comment was the lack of ethics in pursuit of money.

Not everybody wants to work at places like that, or with people like that.

What's the point in them bringing technical expertise to your environment if they poison the culture with their amorality and venality?

Money isn't everything, some of us know that, some of us don't care.

Assuming the premise, natch. :)

The post was much shorter when I responded and the technical bit was a more significant part of it. I totally get the other points, but they stand on their own.

This is the kind of discussion I love to see! I do wish the top comment showed that it was edited to make it more clear.

Yes, because everyone who works or has worked at Facebook is amoral and just after money...

Because their tooling knowledge is rearranging deck chairs on the titanic compared to their willingness to sell out their own people for a buck.

That sounded like an openion not a claim.

That is a very obnoxious way of saying you disagree. Please don’t do that in a discussion forum like this.
