How did you come to believe that Meta doesn't have engineering chops? They have done so much cutting edge engineering work I don't even know where to start.
Think what you want about the company itself, but they've done a shit ton of amazing engineering work.
- nodemaker 4y agoI worked at a startup where everyone was ex meta! They made such a shitty architecture with GraphQL and Hasura and other meta technologies they learnt that it was laughable they were using that for a small startup.
- gedy 4y agoGraphQL and Hasura is... totally reasonable for a startup? We used same at a 12 person startup, way faster and cheaper than the shitty MVP API service we were limping along with. Also Hasura is not Meta tech afaik.
- renewiltord 4y agoIt's not that there aren't great engineers at the FAANGs. It's that there are a lot of low quality ones. So it's a poor lake to fish in.
- what_ever 4y agoIsn't that true for engineers in general and not just engineers at FAANGs?
- renewiltord 4y agoRight. In some sense, it's just a population reversion to the mean. But I've had better luck with my hiring once I've excluded FAANG-only engineers from the resumes I screen. Considering we pay about $350k for a fresh grad, I think I know why this is.
