Just had a remote screening interview with a very pretty eastern European lady with a heavy accent. Slightly more technical than most screenings I've had lately, but it was interesting. Definitely up my alley in that they are trying to sell SIP products. Tech support job, decent pay. Hopefully I make it to technical round.

From what I read this is an example of getting spitroasted. They have a deal with anthropic to route all their AI shit through their own datacenters, at least partially.

I've always been impressed with how little instagram and facebook and whatsapp actually do and yet somehow require 100,000+ employees doing something. Like what could they possibly be doing?

Didn't meta say some time ago they were making fake people for facebook to like peoples shit and up interaction and such. May be all AI now, but someone had to come up with that to begin with.

They have to process a lot of data. I can't imagine how complex it must be to process and present an ever growing pool of data.

It's come way off its highs, but I've never understood how META's stock is valued so high. Are they really making that much ad revenue from Facebook and Instagram?

Predictive, targeted advertisement algorithms run off of Facebook data mostly. These datasets cost millions of dollars to purchase and millions more to maintain. This is their primary revenue stream as all advertisement today is essentially downstream of Facebook/Google.

We have our PI planning this week. I swear these product management folk are morons. This is what drives me crazy: they come up with a feature idea, present it to ONE person (the "architect" who doesn't even know our product well) to get their feedback, and then just run with it. I hate that. They need to come to the TEAM so everyone can put their two cents in. They dropped what feature we'll be working on just last week, thinking it would be easy-peasy, and they have no damn clue what kind of monumental effort this is going to take. So now that we've finally gotten them aware of this, they're all flipping out because they thought this piece would be low effort.

Is this everyone's experience? Are you guys very siloed in the decision-making area? I know it can't be a democracy... too many cooks in the kitchen and all that, but you can't have one or two people making decisions without getting some aggressive feedback first.
