> What on earth do you do with that many devs on a project like Messenger? I mean, really?

Multiply those floors by number of Facebook campuses and generous remuneration, and Messenger was probably very profitable. Being a global 800-pound gorilla is a sweet gig, having tubes sucking money from most countries on earth and depositing it to dozens of campuses makes a lot of sense.



Too bad they poured so much of it into the metaverse. At least Messenger is a useful product.
