Remember when they were taking to long to start up that they pulled stuff into a separate framework just so they could meet launch deadlines: https://blog.timac.org/2017/0410-analysis-of-the-facebook-ap...?

Facebook’s teams somehow cannot manage their bloat and they keep hiring people to hack the platform they're running on rather than fixing the actual underlying problem.

The root cause of the problem is that they have too many people working on it, and that's obviously not a problem you can hire your way out of.

Perhaps they should hire engineers who have the explicit job of ripping out things that should not belong.

Or if they must insist on writing more code than refactoring it out, perhaps they should build more products.
