Oh whoops laying off your engineers and replacing them with AI didn't work out? You lost all the goodwill of your remaining employees and the skill of the ones who left? Poor baby, who could have done this to you https://eshumarneedi.com/2026/07/03/zuckerberg-admits-metas-layoffs-were.html
he wasted billions on a virtual reality where the avatars were Weebles (no legs), wasted vast amounts on AI for no gain. when does the tech press finally admit this guy shouldn't be in charge of a takeout order, much less a massive corporation?
@cwebber and still trying to brand laid off employees as the lowest performing, harming their job hunt?
@cwebber
I'll laugh when all this incompetence finally means Meta disappearing from the world and Zuckerberg in the way to actual poverty.
It continues to be one of the most powerful entities on the planet. Zuck owns a big chunk of Palo Alto outright. And Kauai.
@cwebber Explaining to the boss why the project isn't done yet, "the trajectory of the agentic development over at least the last four months hasn’t really accelerated in the way that we expected."
@cwebber @EshuMarneedi I'm reading "Careless people" by a former Facebook Exec, and Zuck seems both not to be very smart, but also has a big "I'm the main character and you don't really matter" syndrome
@cwebber Who could have seen that coming 
@cwebber Filling up my coffee cup with Zuck Tears today.
@cwebber
I have:
A collection wildly popular social media networks, none of which have done anything remotely interesting in a decade, are universally derided as a plague upon humanity, and don't actually make money.
A completely brain dead "big idea" no one wants that I keep pumping billions of dollars into.
5 tech pyramid schemes in a tenchcoat.
No engineering staff.
Please help me balance my budget my family is starving.
The reality is M Zuckerberg never got through his undergrad before being encourage [by whom?] to drop out and be a rich CEO instead of getting the training and experience to be a successful CEO.
Any lottery winner can be a rich CEO. It takes rather more to be a successful one.
@cwebber Now, cue up Steely Dan and go back, Jack: do it again.
