Facebook Seeks Devs To Make Linux Network Stack As Good As FreeBSD's
An anonymous reader writes Facebook posted a career application which, in their own words is 'seeking a Linux Kernel Software Engineer to join our Kernel team, with a primary focus on the networking subsystem. Our goal over the next few years is for the Linux kernel network stack to rival or exceed that of FreeBSD.' Two interesting bullet points listing "responsibilities": Improve IPv6 support in the kernel, and eliminate perf and stability issues. FB is one of the worlds largest IPv6 deployments; Investigate and participate in emerging protocols (MPTCP, QUIC, etc) discussions,implementation, experimentation, tooling, etc.

Dunno. But while you neckbearded Linus and Theo bootlickers nitpick over a few Mb/s, I'll be looking down from my superior perch of Azure + Windows + .NET stack and chuckling.
Go ahead punk, mod me funny...make my day...
