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

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

    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

          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.
