The blogging aspect of this site is meant to be satire/realist in the sense that most of the IT world has lost any semblance of normalcy. Zuckerberg didn't discover quantum theory or anything which saves lives or even changes our lives for the better. He built a massive social network with plenty of skill but also a ton of luck around who you know and where you came from. He also wasn't the first to come up with this idea. In addition, some actually claim he stole the idea from the Winklevoss twins at Harvard. This is disputed, but they we're convincing enough to walk away with hundreds of millions in a settlement.
I think many are tired of hearing how great of a guy Mark Zuckerberg is, because if you peel back the layers, he's just another billionaire hypocrite.
In my book, I'd put many of the founding fathers of computer science over Zuckerberg anyway. He had a wildly successful business but so have millions of other people. Facebook has been relevant for a little over 10 years and none of the cool kids are using it anymore.
