It'll be interesting to come back here in a couple of years and see what's left. What do they even do anymore? They have Facebook, which hasn't visibly changed in a decade. They have Instagram, which feels a bit sleeker but also remained more or less the same. and Whatsapp. Ad network that runs on top of those services and floods them with trash. Bunch of stuff that doesn't seem to exist anymore - Libra, the grandiose multibillion dollar Legless VR, etc.
But they still have 70 thousand people (a small country) doing _something_. What are they doing? Updating Facebook UI? Not really, the UI hasn't been updated, and you don't need 70 thousand people to do that. Stuff like React and Llama? Good, I guess, we'll see how they make use of Llama in a couple of years. Spellcheck for posts maybe?
