Unfortunately meta has lost so much trust with the world that anything, even well meaning, will be met with such skepticism as to render it unimpactful.
Scientists and devs at meta - is this the most meaningful way you can spend your valuable life?
- vlunkr 5y agoThere's lots of scepticism from some tech or political circles sure, but I don't think the population in general cares. The latest Oculus got bad reviews because it's so tied to Facebook, and it's since sold over 10 million.

Not sure I would have bought anyway, but when the sales guy in the store openly admit he doesn't want to sell it then you know you have a PR problem :-)
- etamatem 5y ago> is this the most meaningful way you can spend your valuable life? Yes. I work on WhatsApp, which is the best[1] messaging app among those that make an effort to be relevant for the "next billion" internet users. There are probably people in Ukraine right now who are relying on the work we do. I wouldn't be able to say the same had I worked on some *aaS CRUD app (not that there's anything wrong with that!) 1. IMO, I probably am biased.
