The machine is hollow. A former Meta employee is pulling back the curtain. The Silicon Valley dream is a corpse. What used to be about building tools is now just about trimming the fat.

They call it the year of efficiency. That is a corporate lie. It is a mass purge. The engineers who actually cared are gone. Only the numbers remain. The company is stripping itself of its own soul to please the shareholders.

The workplace is a graveyard of discarded talent.

• Constant fear of the next layoff.
• A complete loss of creative purpose.
• The replacement of human intuition with cold metrics.
• A culture of survival rather than production.

The people are gone. The algorithm is all that is left. We are watching a titan cannibalize its own limbs.
