I agree. Imagine the big brains at work here and what those brains could be doing elsewhere. Honestly at this point the FAANG are starting to seem like a black hole for brains. I’m starting to wonder if these companies are starting to hold us back by sucking up all the talent. I don’t fault individuals here. We all have to eat and put a roof over our heads. This just seems like such a frivolous waste of resources.

I think if a brain thinks that it is best used by working for a FAANG, then that's probably true. No misuse of resources here.

Definitely. But then again if these brain compete to work on something like this, maybe they are not so big after all.
