If people disagree, that's okay.
We're not necessarily...
you know winning over friends when we talk about what we do but i think over the long run people are fundamentally more afraid of things that they don't understand um and about things where people are more secretive and less accessible and so i've been tried i've tried to show up in an accessible and authentic way um and i've made mistakes and i have enjoyed it at times and hated it at other times um
That's kind of how it started.
There was also kind of a fun debate in Mark's sort of senior leadership team a long time ago, where we were just talking about how we're a social media company, where we had like a very sort of conventional approach to communication and like press releases.
And it's like, why don't we just use our platform?
So I was not in that debate, but I stuck myself into that debate, tried to mediate it.
And I think, but that was also a reason why I ended up getting sucked in because Mark was like, all right, well, let's see.
Like, why don't you try and see how it goes?
You try to put it in perspective, right?
You know, like, so it started with, I did the redesign of Newsfeed in 2009.
We launched it March of 2009.
for Facebook.
I was a designer.
I was a front, like an IC designer, front, you know, entry-level designer.
And the first comment that came in was something pretty derogatory.
I think it was like, it was like homophobic and anti-Semitic.
it was just like literally we're all sitting there we launched this thing and we're just looking at the stream of comments and it's like the first one and it was specifically about they don't know me but it was like what expletive expletive um sensor sensor uh designed this shit and i was like oh it was me um and i was like devastated i was like 25 year old kid and i don't know i thought about it and
I came to this idea that if you spent 30, 40, 50 minutes a day at your desk and you organize your photos there and you wrote letters to your friends there and you read there, and then I just came and I rearranged your desk and I didn't tell you, I didn't warn you, I didn't even explain why, like you would be pissed and that would be reasonable.
And that was what was happening just with millions of people.
