This is what happened, from a similar post: http://www.theecotone.com/2007/08/10/facebook-code-dump/ http://www.theecotone.com/2007/08/10/facebook-code-dump/ Just to be clear, apart from embarrassment, I'm sure the reason to react quickly is for security reasons. It's not that they're worried about their technology, like if a major game's source code was leaked. Facebook could be written in Visual Basic and Lego Mindstorm programs -- who cares? Their code is just whatever it needs to be.

Of course :) I'm not sure why people claim code needs to be pretty. I'd rather have something functional than something pretty, all things being equal (I've heard Netscape's code was very pretty right around the time their company went under). Sure, it's higher quality, but not always worth the time. Speaking of code.. Back to my community site.
