    Sorry, he wrote all these? Or did he just own lots of stock in a company that hired engineers who made these things?

      I agree. I avoid React because I don’t want to be opinion of Facebook influenced by being invested in its tech.

    Google too open sources a mountain of code every year - most of it very good code. It doesn’t make Google any less evil.
