I actively avoid everything that has anything to do with Facebook, and I can't be the only one.


Ever used React or PyTorch? Well, this is same. Developers make good stuff regardless of where they work, and good on FB for contributing

But yeah if you do open source adding an element of corporate branding is a sure way to kill the project. That's why it's not called "Apple Swift" or "Microsoft TypeScript".


Yeah, me too. I also avoid everything Apple and Google makes, but I'm not going to pretend like the Alphabet rebranding is their attempt at hiding who they are.


Alphabet wasn't a rebranding: the founding billionaires got bored of Google, and wanted to take out a few billion dollars per year out of it to create new toys without sharing it with Google.


Yes, many humans make irrational decisions like you
