The amount of talent at Facebook always amazed me and depressed me at the same time. All that talent focusing on a service that I just don't care about.

Some people make the case that tons of fresh talent has been wasted creating Wall Street's "financial engineering products" or whatever.

Does working at Facebook fall into the same tier of wasted talent and effort?
