"Hi Mark, my name is Cameron, and this is my brother, Tyler."
"Good to meet you. Sweartagawd your idea is safe, my lips have a zippers." (makes zzzzzzzzip sound)
"Mark, me and my brother trust you. In addition, no one could possibly execute our idea as well as we can, since we have the original idea. Can you start coding right away?"
"Sure, yeah, come again though about that 'execute' stuff? I'm so clueless about business! My rate will be $20 an hour to code up your idea."
"Okay Mark, keep us updated when you finish -- and again, we're not worried you'll steal our idea. We're not even going to ask you to sign a non-disclosure -- you look so dadburned honest and humble, Mark! And reliable too."
"Thanks Cameron and Tyler, come again with that 'steal your idea' stuff? I'm so naive! I have no experience stealing ideas! I'm a virgin when it comes to betraying people!"
"Okay Mark, don't pop that cherry with us!"

LATER..............Cameron and Tyler discuss the Zuck hire...
CAM: "He's a bit naive but he can code, that comes from a trusted friend who worked on a project together."
TYLER: "To me, he came off as chronically baffled. I wager we're going to be disappointed in his work, Cameron."
- tdumitrescu 11y agoReally? FB is one of the perfect examples of how much more execution matters than idea.
- jackgavigan 11y agoWell, yeah. Zuck pretended that he was executing for the Winklevii when he was actually executing for himself.
