Brutal.
One thing I always wondered was why Facebook never started their own cloud services offering like Amazon did with AWS? They have the scale, expertise, and infrastructure to do it yet never have.
While a lot of large companies constantly churn through new product ideas to see what sticks, Amazon hit a home run early on with AWS, and Facebook could have easily started their own many years ago when it was clear how the market was developing for cloud.
Edit: Found previous thread about it

I think the article addressed that: >I’ll get right to it: Mark Zuckerberg is an ineffective, incompetent, and directionless executive, one bereft of complete or concrete ideas. He has entirely failed to innovate since the very beginning of Facebook — a product that he never envisioned as a business — and nearly 20 years later, he appears completely and utterly out of ideas.
