Good grief people - It's satire. The entire thing is meant to be funny. I didn't even think it was particularly subtle so I'm not sure how others are seeing it any other way.

Pretty obvious only an idiot would write up this rant on his personal blog while still employed at FB. I ignored the content immediately after realizing this. Click bait title. Lame.

  Exactly my thoughts. It would actually have been a worthwhile piece to read if it wasn't satire... As it is, it's just another geek trying to get attention.

  Why did you ignore the contents? It's pretty good.

He had me until the second point's header. Overall it was a fantastic read if just for the moment of realization. Still it would have benefited with more subtly or fewer items. Some point's like #4 had great potential but needed less sarcasm.

  More subtlety would definitely have done this article well. As it stands, the satire is both obvious and contrived.

Took me until point 4...

  It took me until I read the comments on this thread.

  Me too. I was thinking: "Ah, this explains why FB is buggy as hell, changes too much, and irritates me".

Silly me. And I thought satire was supposed to be edgy and humorous in an uncomfortable way. Jonathan Swift (http://art-bin.com/art/omodest.html http://art-bin.com/art/omodest.html) is crap in comparison to this work of masterpiece (AKA "why I love my job").
