1. Judging how smart the people there are by their tech stack is like judging how much horsepower a car has based on how many miles it has.

2. Even humoring that assumption, you’re conveniently forgetting React, Hive (+Hbase, hipal), presto, rocksdb, Cassandra, graphql, oauth 2, open compute, phabricator, hhvm, buck, and that’s just the open source stuff.

Sorry, I stopped considering your argument when you claimed the HHVM wasn't anything other than a crime against humanity.

PHP could have died, but no, it got a new lease on life.

Hive is a bad copy of a google tech. Buck is a bad copy of a google tech. Hbase is a bad copy of a google tech. Rocks is cute, but it's a bit sad that it's at the center of literally everything in the company.

Phabricator isn't bad, but it's a pretty close copy to things at google.

And I think Google only joined the open compute initiative to try and talk facebook out of it's weird ideas.
