Thanks for sharing. While I have no first hand insights, it does sound like it's not necessarily providing the best set of incentives.
However maybe it also have to do with the size of the company. To survive the ecosystem, you first need exposure and output, in order to secure a position/network that will allow you to work on harder problems.
To expand a bit on the idea, if you think of what it takes to make things move in a company the size of Facebook, you probably have a long queue of easy/boring task, and then anything remotely harder than the boring stuff require team work, collaboration and having secured the right talent in your team to move the needle. Collaboration require good communication, which can honed through getting people to write a lot about their work. It also make it easier to spot the right talent.
While it can have some negative effects, maybe at scale it helps organizing the company.
Definitely would be interested in reading other people's opinions here.
