U wonder what kind if person thinks "you know what, today I will go in an make the world a little bit worse than it was before"...I simply cannot understand how people are willingly working at a place like Meta.

There's just so many other options for making (plenty of) money, that doesn't involve actively participating in making the world worse.

Like working on open source projects?

In light of recent mass layoffs I'd be quite interested what options of making (plenty of) money you think exist for developers that don't actively make the world worse.
