They have a lot of money left over from all the layoffs to pay the remaining ones well enough, and the coming crash has yet to materialise, some would think.

I mean I consider all the big tech companies evil, but somehow meta consistently manages to raise the bar in that discipline. I don't understand how any dev left at that company doesn't feel like a spineless POS. And I don't say that for trolling or pure provocation. I seriously don't understand how you can ignore all the shit they pull and just go "but the technical challenges are really interesting". I really want to know.

If you consider chatbots to be more evil than Microsoft helping Israel kill Palestinians then maybe you need some extended unconscious bias training.
