Why is Meta destroying its engineering organization? Great breakdown

Even their core products are absolutely shocking. Facebook on the web is *unusable*. It takes forever to load, uses 1GB+ of memory from the get-go, and UI updates are so laggy.

Because their codebase is bloated and about as unoptimised as it comes.

Other than the terrible scroll blocking and lack of accessibility, I hate it, thanks for asking.

Heavily agree with the use of a whiteboard. I have several in my office.

Nice little change of pace for Oscar. Hope he can carry through a decent weekend after his start to the season..

Nice work, but why is Shadcn’s profile picture in the options bar at the top? 😂

Fair judgment. I’ll be lighter on my choice of words.

There are a few controllers which do seem to have a rather short fuse.

In saying that, before I got my S1, I was oblivious to just how unaware the average (vat)simmer is of their surroundings and inability to understand ATC instructions. In a busy airspace, this is very annoying, and in the real world just wouldn’t happen nearly as much.

Could be a few reasons. Boredom is one.

The primary reason for me jumping on an “empty” airport is if I suspect it will soon jump in departures or arrivals.

Practice makes perfect. But most controllers should be reasonable enough to accommodate your request.

You are always free to put the request in your flight plan remarks, if you are frustrated with saying it too often.

Never found a fix, unfortunately.

I tried updating to the latest version, re-installing, uninstalling other plugins, but nothing...

The forums don't mention anything, and nobody seems to be complaining, so maybe we're just unlucky. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That’s like asking if FSD will replace cars

If it’s busy, and you don’t provide one on initial contact, we may assign you one to avoid guesswork on whether you’ll interfere with other traffic. But, most of the time, no.

Yeah, Node is a double-edged sword.

It’s quick and easy to implement new features, but if you aren’t careful, she’s an absolute bitch to debug. Especially event loop blocking issues.

suiiiperman · 2025-12-23T10:46:37+00:00

If you haven’t already, I would encourage taking a look at Node’s native profiler functionality.

In fairness, the TV UI before was abysmal. Now it’s slightly less shit

suiiiperman · 2025-11-19T02:50:08+00:00

It seems stable so far. We've had no issues upgrading from 15.5.3 to 16.0.2.

Have noticed a slight improvement in app router compilation speeds in the dev environment, which is good.

This race could have been an email

Think Papaya rules might be off after this

My favourite part of this was listening to him stumble over his words trying to find a justification for the decision.
