There was a funny quote a few weeks ago about how Zuckerberg wanted to go in and fix a few bugs and developers were complaining because he was way slower, etc, and basically just interfered with the process.
Zuckerberg is a college drop out that started Facebook. We don't really know how his skills compares to others. It's easy to assume he his above average, but I have no idea what kind of code was behind the earlier Facebook versions.
My guess is that the Facebook that Zuckerberg started is so "simple" compared to the current version that it requires a different skill set. "Anyone" can throw together some some php+sql code to make Facebook v1.0, but that doesn't mean that they are actually an above average programmer. I'm not saying that he couldn't be an excellent programmer, but he has probably lost a lot of programming hours compared to others that were at his college at the time
