imagine would would happen if this money went to the workers instead...

where do you think the money went? I imagine a lot of it went to workers salaries....

    You're right, a lot of it probably went to the devs but from what I'm reading the cash burn is so bad because it's extremely chaotic in there, lot's of bad decisions, canceled projects, lot's of directors swapping places. No idea what part of it went to low ranking devs and what went to consultants and building useless prototypes.

    My understanding is that Facebook's culture is very cutthroat. Throw other people under the bus, try to make your rivals' project fail, do a huge unnecessary refactor to "make a name" for yourself, that sort of stuff.
