Yea I knew meta was toxic, but publicly beefing over something over a decade ago is a whole other matter. I can’t even remember what I was working on 10 years ago, and even if I did I wouldn’t be bringing people down that much later.

The problem is a lot of very strong engineers are also very difficult to work with. I worked at Meta too and can tell you the other side of the coin is that people who were too toxic could get canned as well!

		Yes, I have worked with the strong but arrogant/snarky engineers. Luckily most of them got canned or forced out because the environment they create around themselves more than negates the positive impact they have. The strongest engineers I have worked with are all humble and kind. It is their loss, I cannot imagine letting a minor work quarrel live rent free in my head for over a decade. I feel bad enough when something is stuck in my mind for a week.
