I didn't think the video was all that informative. I was hoping it was three keys to the initial success of Facebook. Not, three keys that keeps Facebook successful which are:
1) Culture
2) Developer's platform.
3) Leverage with hiring. e.g. Mentioning the impact that engineers will have.
- guynamedloren 16y ago+1. I wanted some deep answers, not a bunch of fluff. That stuff is pretty self-explanatory and not all that surprising. Oh well.
- pedalpete 16y agoagreed,though the leverage is an interesting way to look at hiring. If that is one of the key things that Zuckerberg points at when talking about the success of Facebook, I have to wonder if when he sits down with a potential new hire, he asks him self 'does this person have the capabilities and initiative to lead 1 million people'.
- spitfire 16y agoI've seen it mentioned somewhere that facebook has been having a problem finding self-directed developers. They want the good ones to be mini-ceo's, and they're having problems finding that. Instead they're getting lots of hotshot coders who flounder around. I think they'll have a difficult time finding those mini-ceo's without changing the culture quite a bit. This is what happens when you hire straight out of school.
