Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth laments lack of focus in the company

Meta Chief Technology Officer Andrew “Boz” Bosworth, one of the company’s first employees, wrote in a personal blog post that the company was more focused in its early days. This comes at a time when Meta’s problems are becoming more apparent, including slowing user growth across its platforms, stiff competition from TikTok, and a rocky start to the company’s Metaverse dreams.

In a post titled “Focus,” Bosworth compared the startup life from the initial days to how things are now at the company, describing it as “pretty brutal.” Work times were lengthy at “120 hours per week,” he ate poorly and “gained a lot of weight,” and slept with his phone next to his head “in case something broke.”
