You may not like the company, and you are entitled to have that view (I might even share it!), but to state that everyone that works there in some form of engineering capacity is lacking of praise for their engineering feats is quite disingenuous.
Take a look at all the different repos they have on their github page, along with projects like HipHop-PHP, Cassandra, Tornado and the thousands of commits they have contributed to MySQL, PHP, memcached, Varnish. Let alone the number of sites they integrate with and their active user base, Facebook's engineers are quite intelligent and have solved some amazing problems. I'd like to think that most of HN thinks like engineers and marketers, positions that generally do best when their time isn't wasted by flinging mud for political "gain". Please keep it that way.
