Agree 100% But having that mutherZucker say “Metaverse” was the smartest thing his PR team has ever done.

The media immediately stopped harassing the company about its less-than-stellar actions, inactions, and policies, and instead, lost their mind over the buzzword and ran with… It was like watching a dog play fetch.

Big rich companies hate profits. It leads to too much tax. I’m sure “Meta” is doing just fine financially.

Look, the #1 reason this VR business won't work out is common sense: Name one person who spent any time on their hair or makeup who wants to mess it up for a 30-minute Metaverse get together. For instance, anyone with curly hair will hate using a VR headset. <sarcasm>Knots and matting? Wow! Awesome!</sarcasm>

I personally have a dedicated VR headband. Goes great with my Google glasses and my Rollerblades 🤠

Portions of the industry keeps insisting that the metaverse is the next big thing, but every kid in my family and that I’m encountering is saying they’re sick of being online all the time and want to do stuff in real life.

So if Facebook growth is slowing to a crawl because its core users are agin, and the next few generations are tiring of the whole headset and VR world thing and yearning for real life instead, where does that leave Meta?

It doesn't. And if we're all being honest with ourselves, we've been hoping something would replace it since they started letting our geriatric aunt's post on our timelines.

Is it just me, or as an industry have we just given up on true mentor ship and learning. Seems like we want better talent, and people who understand concept vs tactic, but we don’t do much to make sure that’s happening.

I am hesitating to take lead role. But for my experience (8 YOE) I will have to take up that role at least in my next switch.

Could you please suggest me how can I come out of this fear. I am afraid of taking lead role because of below things.

1. Taking ownership for entire team deliverables.
2. Had to attend every requirement call and as well as technical review calls. (When BA is not good, need to provide acceptance criteria points).
3. Providing and justifying resource/work estimates.
