It's funny how people are so interested in the development practices of Facebook as if that's how it should be done. It's a bit like the halo effect, where if the company does one thing right (get lucky and dominate the market by being first), then everything else they do must be right too. If you ask me, they could take what ever approach to development, hiring, training and firing they like and they'd just be as successful. But, none of that stuff is what made them successful. Therefore, I'm actually not that interested.
