    Sorry, he wrote all these? Or did he just own lots of stock in a company that hired engineers who made these things?

    This is like giving Hitler a thumbs up because you saw him lean down and pet a stray dog…

    Engineers did that. Zuck just saw no business advantage to keep it private. He agreed to open-source them to popularize whatever they build in Meta to make hiring engineers easier, since they already know whatever they use inside Meta

      I agree. I avoid React because I don’t want to be opinion of Facebook influenced by being invested in its tech.

    Google too open sources a mountain of code every year - most of it very good code. It doesn’t make Google any less evil.

          kinda, it started with quitting React partly because I preferred Vue and partly because of Facebook, but then I slowly extended it to others. I don’t know if I’m avoiding them all, I will probably use Llama at some point.
