@GergelyOrosz Having been burned by both Meta and Google, I personally see their tools as choices of last resort. Companies need years of stability to build upon, not hot takes from bored execs every 18mo. They're both untrustworthy partners.
@GergelyOrosz Meta's internal dev infra is excellent though. So the technical capability is there, the question is whether leadership will keep it as a priority. I would say yes, given their scale of AI investment and desperate need to diversify the business
@GergelyOrosz Parse's shutdown taught devs a hard lesson; that's exactly why projects like Ollama and vLLM got traction - community-owned, no corporate rug-pull risk. Meta would need years of consistency to rebuild that trust.
@GergelyOrosz also would you trust them with your company most sensitive data, even if they claim to use zero data retention? i'm not sure i would…

@GergelyOrosz @yacineMTB The culture just doesn't bode well for owning, maintaining, and building great dev tools.
@smlpth if they claim zero data retention I would tbh
Remember Meta's track record in dev infra: TERRIBLE. In 2013, they bought a service loved by devs: Parse (backend-as-a-service for mobile apps). 2016: sudden shutdown, no migration path. 2023: released Llama, meant to be a series of open models. 2025: terminated this strategy after Llama 4. 2026: pivots to closed models behind an API... It I was an LLM, I would follow up with: 2028: abandons this strategy and pivots to Y...
@yacineMTB I don't hate them, I just remember what happened with Parse, 3 years after Meta (then: Facebook) acquired them, when Parse was v popular with devs I also used it back in the day https://x.com/GergelyOrosz/status/2075233923777335332 Terrible to know the history of a company I know, and not be star-eyed
@yacineMTB I am talking about dev infra. https://x.com/GergelyOrosz/status/2075261884555489354 Anyway, I get it, we disagree. I would like to see Meta persist and show they mean providing a service devs use without throwing in the towel it after 2-3 years. Maybe this time they will!
