Does Facebook still build anything? These days it seems like they mostly buy other companies that are still able to build and innovate.

Yes, they do, but they do it pretty quietly - think messenger, or their dating service, or their games section - these are all parts of Facebook, but they used to not be. Messenger and Games are the oldest ones. They're huge, they keep building stuff into what "Facebook" is, but it's really, *really* subtle.

Also, off topic, but I'm fairly certain you're a former co-worker of mine :)
