Meta reviews

- Senior management is composed of literal boomers that don't care about the products that actually matter to people. Won't take accountability for dumb decisions they pushed - Dumb top-down decisions—extremely reactive to news and market movements, and inability to commit to a plan for more than 4 months (????) - No more room for non-metaverse innovation. The company has given up on the real bread-winning products except for the Facebook app, which they only care about for stonks - Move fast and break things has just resulted in everything being broken - You get credit for shipping something, not making it polished yay janky product goes brrrrrr onto the next thing

Outside of Instagram, Whatsapp, and Reality Labs Research, there is still a lot of skill gaps in deep product conviction and craftsmanship. There are so many leaders, Engineers, Product Managers, and designers doing things to make a metric, a revenue/retention/growth number, or move up in their careers and personal success. This means that sometimes, solving deep product problems on the behalf of customers, with 100% focus on making their lives better and building something great is hard to get through leaders and build. This creates pockets of politics that feel disconnected from making our customers happy. It also makes it feel like we'll do anything to maintain growth and numbers against competitors taking share from us rather than asking if a fast follow copying of features is good for the heart and soul of what we're good at as a company and what will make the job our customers hire us to do in their lives fulfilled even better.
