- vote Why blame Facebook or IG for suicidal teens? It's just a platform.... IG's just a platform. It didn't create a toxic culture of self-comparison to peers. The algorithm is not optimized to perpetuate the problem either, it's merely showing what people want to see. People will always find a medium to engage in this ancient behavior, with or without IG. In the age of
- vote Choose between GCP, FB and Snap Need help with picking among these L4/E4 Bay Area offers. Not particularly excited about the team at GCP or the GCP org in general, thanks to all the reviews I have read about it on Blind.

- Google GCP E5 vs FB E5 Hi all, I'm seeing a lot of negative stuff about GCP here. Have offers from both GCP storage team and FB, wonder what the advice would be for somebody with kids and family.

- Google GCP (L6) vs FB (M1) I figure this next role for me will be at least 5 - 10 years, at least long enough until I hit my FIRE targets. Have a young kid, so while I don't mind working hard, also want to be able to spend time in my kid's life. I also care about growth, but it's not the be-all end-all. I also care about t

Also have an offer for FB Seattle which I heard has much better WLB than Menlo Park due to the amount of people from MSFT. Is FB Seattle better WLB

- Appreciation post to the FB team for crashing the platform Thanks guys ❤ but on a side note, I guess loose coupling isn't a thing outside ... classrooms? 🙈
- vote Developing facebook vs marketing the platform, what’s more difficult? Developing a system of such scale or having to get it to every corner with the marketing. I personally believe the marketing would be more difficult part. People just need the use case and would barely care about its technical significance unless they’re engineers. Convincing them to use the platfor

- Facebook makes biggest investment ever (for partial stake) in Jio Platforms. Your thoughts? #facebook #jio What does it mean for both the companies and the existing players in the ecom space in India like Flipkart, Amazon India, PayTm, Alibaba and Tencent invested companies ? This is significant considering it's only 9.99% stake and the only bigger play Facebook has ever made was to acquire WhatsApp.
- vote I heard FB Infra is ghetto compared to Kubernetes setup in AWS or GCP… I heard about this from many ex-FBers. 1. Poorly documented in-house tools. 2. The API is inferior to public clouds. 3. Too many half baked features due to impact related stuff. #facebook

- vote Netflix isn’t a tech company. Change my mind. A tech company in todays world implies a few things. Namely that you work with technology (synonymous with anything touching computers these days, which I think is a fallacy, but I digress). But also that you are high growth and “innovating”. When we look at Netflix, it should be obvious that all th
- vote Is this the beginning of the end for Facebook? Losing daily active users for the first time ever, and the only growth is coming from emerging markets where the revenue per ad impression is significantly less.
