Doubling down because they've already poured billions in, not because the payoff is certain. But there's a major cost and a lot of pain waiting for us at the end of this. The disruption is going to be massive on so many levels. Sure, efficiency sounds great on paper. But one of the really bad outcomes, the one not really talked about, is the loss of invaluable accumulated skills and competence. The people who actually know their stuff, who understand the systems and the history and the nuance? They'll be pushed out or made obsolete. And once that knowledge walks out the door, it's not coming back. AI can generate answers. It can't replace years of hard-earned instinct. But by the time leadership figures that out, the damage will already be done.

Meta engineers are very good in leetcode. That skill-set can be easily replaced with AI.
take your skills and knowledge to another company then if its so valuable
LMAO, "I can't be replaced" and the only knowled the guy have is bug fixing. Learn to sheet roof pal.
you are in denial. Accumulated knowledge is because the system is full of bugs and needlessly complex. Very typical of meta DEI hires. Meta doesn’t exactly have the best products. Many are sh-t, which validates the engineers are also sh-t. You are not thinking big enough. Imagine AI (not using a meta model) with a real talented masculine engineer (not a meta DEI hire) decided to simply rewrite the entire product that contained said accumulated knowledge. Problem solved.
