I really wonder how Zuckerberg will be looked back on. It's seemed obvious that he's an incredible CEO given the growth we saw with Facebook, but maybe he was just in the right place at the right time and had a cash cow that was difficult to mess up? Because when I look at the Metaverse and I look at this AI stuff... I dunno. Feels like throwing spaghetti at the wall.

I think he’ll be looked back as one hit wonder kid lacking any ethics to grow his company. Be pumped a whole bunch of money in VR that didn’t seem to go anywhere and now AI seems like a fine direction to go in copying the herd with dangerous disregard to ethics.

ok, but I want to know if these superstars still had to leetcode interviews.
Zuck didn’t get the people he wanted despite literally offering billions. He then attached MSL to his other failed GenAI org which was already an astounding failure of leadership from the now triple headed team (wang, nat and zuck) which resulted in people fighting for budget, scope and prestige.
Meanwhile you have 1000x comp inequality among ICs and in some cases people getting 10x higher offers than others just because they happened to finish interviews a week later.
These people couldn’t organize a piss up in a brewery, good luck with AGI.

I think no matter what Mark does to shake things up. ~Facebook~ Meta will always be out-innovated by a startup and forced to keep acquiring and gobbling up anything that becomes remotely successful.

This happens to all companies that end up with - pardon my French - a shithole culture.
