The primary employee responsible for the screwdriver seemed to be a production engineer with 10 years experience. I’m also aware of experienced product designers they employ. Linus himself has product management experience, and probably employs some PMs too.

The first primary employee responsible for the screwdriver was the affable but very young Alex ("I know SolidWorks"). I like his car review videos!
Then towards the like the last third of the project lifecycle they hired this guy with a decade of experience, but wasn't it mostly in EE?

In a PC hardware reseller company. That's about making decisions about what products to buy/stock, not about designing/building something. Quite different. He's most likely aware of the difference, but was still using that phrasing in the video. shrug.
They have in-house clothing designers as well that specifically tailor each garment before mass production. None of their merch from the past 2 years is "off the shelf" in any way.
The only houses I've seen decrease in value are custom mansions in the $10m+ price range. It's similar to custom cars. People with that much money for a house are likely to build their own.
In the $500k-$5m range I don't see any houses losing value. At least not on any significant scale. Given a 30 year time period, and no other outlying issues (oops, your house is in a liquefaction zone), your house is going to increase in value.
Not necessarily in real money terms. Population isn’t growing much, and if there isn’t a massive money pump pushing down interest rates running (which is getting turned off shortly), the math gets a bit grim.
Most if that appreciation is due to the steadily loosening standards since the early 80’s when a similar inflation spike drove up interest rates and gutted the housing market.
I can’t see the big deal. We use the Facebook SDK specifically for the free analytics. It’s just a default part of the SDK. It’s not sending anything any other analytics package wouldn’t
Could you maybe expand on what company you work for so that the rest of us can avoid it and its products?
Uploading all of this data to Facebook just so you don't have to run a Matomo instance (or whatever controlled analytics platform you use) is either laziness or disregard for your users. There's a reason the analytics are free and sacrificing your users for something this small is exactly what is wrong with the modern software ecosystem.
