Yea I knew meta was toxic, but publicly beefing over something over a decade ago is a whole other matter. I can’t even remember what I was working on 10 years ago, and even if I did I wouldn’t be bringing people down that much later.

The problem is a lot of very strong engineers are also very difficult to work with. I worked at Meta too and can tell you the other side of the coin is that people who were too toxic could get canned as well!

Yes, I have worked with the strong but arrogant/snarky engineers. Luckily most of them got canned or forced out because the environment they create around themselves more than negates the positive impact they have. The strongest engineers I have worked with are all humble and kind.

It is their loss, I cannot imagine letting a minor work quarrel live rent free in my head for over a decade. I feel bad enough when something is stuck in my mind for a week.

Yeah, I am loving the public mudslinging over shit from 10 years ago, like high school girls fighting. This is like the FAANG version of the TV show Suits. We can call it FAANGs and use Midjorney to create the cover art and give the actors vampire fangs.

On a more serious note, it seems like any hyper competitive company eventually spirals into an awful, toxic working env.
