They're spending $10B/yr on servers alone without any product or plan for their use. It's a waste of money if there isn't a roadmap, which there still isn't.

EDIT: I work for Meta as an IC6.

View on HN

You're also disparaging your employer on HN and disclosing things they would likely consider company confidential material. Not a great look, and some risk of becoming "Ex-Meta" if you keep doing this sort of thing and they identify you.

They can say whatever they like about their employer. I can’t even begin to imagine the mentality of admonishing a stranger on the internet because you think they said something that Facebook doesn’t like. It’s fine I promise.

Agree to disagree honestly. If you don't like your employer to the point you're going to trash talk on HN, find a new job, do something else, and certainly don't disclose information like $'s being spent on infrastructure with "no plan to use" (this person is inevitably covered by an NDA, and that is very likely considered company confidential information by Meta).

Always best to assume that even if you post attempting to be anonymous and not filling out 'About Me' that one of your 100's of comments on an internet forum may identify you accidentally or intentionally, and that all your comment history may then trace to you.

You can't imagine why it's wrong for him to sign an agreement undertaking to uphold their good name and not disclose confidential info, only to then go back on his word on both points here?

To make it worse, $META is a public company. Confidential info is even more sensitive for a public company.

Whether you like Meta or not plays no part.
