Facebook.

  I doubt that first version of Facebook should be considered some pinnacle of engineering.

    AFAIK, Facebook is the most used software in the world. That is some achievement. Even technically - serving so many people is kinda mind blowing

      You are missing the point.

      > Facebook is the most used software in the world. This is very obviously not true. For example, more people use PHP than use Facebook (supposing that there is at least one user of PHP who does not use Facebook, such as e.g. myself). I'll let you construct additional examples for yourself. And if, btw, you argue that the users of Facebook don't "use" PHP, then I'll argue that they don't "use" Facebook in exactly the same way, since their web browser (or mobile client) is an intermediary.

    Zuckerberg is still under 30, so the current version should still count.

      TIL he's been writing it all by himself until now

        Cooperation doesn't make a feat less impressive.

  >technological feats Facebook doesn't really fit into that category. It was MySpace 2.0
