> the Meta engineering organization created PyTorch and React

People created PyTorch and React, they happen to be working at Meta at the time.

Maybe it's unlikely they'd create those working elsewhere, but I think it's much more unlikely that someone else at Meta would have created the same thing without those people there.

I agree that Meta is not uniformly bad, but I would not consider React to be a great tool. Every React project I worked on has turned into an unmaintainable pile of spaghetti.

>I won't color any large entity uniformly bad at all times and aspects.

Oh yes, I would color Meta.

Organizations that are overall bad can have people who have done some good things, or at least technically impressive things.
