The folks at Facebook know programming and teach lot of us about that. They know how scale distributed system, what parts to write in Python, Go, or just Assembly. They also built new network architecture to optimize utilization of all links at scale, open compute systems for large scale DCs. So let us just appreciate and learn from what they have to share.

No, I do not or did not work at FB. Also do not use FB. But I learn from their writing.

So ask for a carbon tax. That'll sort it.
