People love photos. Photos originally weren't that big a part of the idea for Facebook, but we just found that people really like them, so we built out this functionality.
We have a rule that if you check in code, you have to maintain it. So I mostly code on the side. I don't check in code anymore.
We have a very open culture at the company, where we foster a lot of interaction between not just me and people but between everyone else. It's an open floor plan. People have these desks where no one really has an office. I mean, I have a room where I meet with people. But it has all glass, so everyone can see into it and see what's going on.
One of my big regrets is that Facebook hasn't had a major chance to shape the mobile operating system ecosystem.
Our mission is to connect every person in the world. You don't do that by having a service people pay for.
You get a reputation for stability if you are stable for years.
About half my time is spent on business operation type stuff.
Facebook is in a very different place than Apple, Google, Amazon, Samsung, and Microsoft. We are trying to build a community.
Figuring out what the next big trend is tells us what we should focus on.
I just want to make sure when I have kids, I can spend time with them. That's the whole point.
I'm trying to make the world a more open place.
It wasn't until we got our first office in Palo Alto where things became more like a company. We never went into this wanting to build a company.
It's against all of our policies for an application to ever share information with advertisers.
It's, like, even in journeys like Facebook, we've had some very serious ups and downs.
