I take it the post refers specifically to the bright engineers who work at Facebook. I think he's right. Take Bret Taylor for example. This guy made Google Maps while at google, a tool that seriously changed a business. While at facebook do you know what he did? He converted their APIs to the (unfinished) oauth standard and in the process also deprecated a ton of features that were available to developers. They also released 4 widgets. ZERO innovation there , in fact the platform was more feature-rich 2 years ago. Taking a look at the documentation reveals how crippled and unfocused it is at this time. On the other hand, there's twitter. Now that's a company that could use a few good engineers to stop the embarrassing downtimes.
