I am sure, as successful and highly monetized projects, both the Metaverse and LLAMA need more people paid at 100m/y each. Under the wise guidance of the Zuck, we are sure to achieve Superintelligence in a matter of weeks.
I recently tried building something with Meta’s APIs again for the first time in a while.
What a mess. The UI is confusing, the structure makes little sense, and the documentation is often outdated or even contradictory. To top it off, paying for WhatsApp’s Cloud API only works with Visa or Mastercard, while ad payments support many more methods.
I’ve had the same frustrating experience with Microsoft, Google, and Apple.
In the end, whichever tech giant offers the best AI APIs will likely still lose ground if their developer experience continues to be this poor.
This isnt shocking considering Zuckerbergs comments.
I'm kinda shocked it happened this fast though. We had headlines of billion dollar offers for AI engineers and a few weeks later it all came crashing down.
So Meta rode the social media, VR, Crypto and AI hype trains in the last decade. Wonder what's next. If it's COBOL programming on 35 year old 32 bit mainframes, then I'm golden!
And before I get down-voted... yes, social media, VR, Crypto and AI all have their places in the tech ecosystem. It's the hype and bubble-forming over investing I don't really care for.
These tech hiring freeze articles masquerade as indefinite, when the reality is that they are often only a few weeks long and the same publications don't write articles about them being lifted
Wonder if this is going to be like when Twitter laid people off and the rest of the tech industry rapidly went from hiring pretty much anyone who applied to the current career apocalypse that software developers are going through.
