Valve also has much better hackers than Facebook.

Since VR was mentioned tangentially, how many 'Valve hackers' is one John Carmack worth?

I don’t know, how many combined are worth -500 million? Think just one is worth literally hundreds of million more than him all things considered

Zero, right now, as he’s not working with Facebook any more.

Not only not working there, but distinctly said he left because he complained that too much money was being sent down the money hole and productivity per capita was abysmal

To play devil's advocate for my own point, Michael Abrash was swiped from Valve by Facebook. The dude is a hardcore hacker. Even the rendering code in Age of Empires II owes him credit for performance optimizations!
