You said that Metro has stolen some stuff.
Mark Zuckerberg recorded himself saying the word poke that was the notification sound for the app.
Such a big company was so focused on what we were doing.
My mom was like, you can have your own computer if you build it.
And I was like, okay.
Oh my gosh, I have so, so many.
You know, when we were starting the company,
we were so focused on secrecy.
We were incredibly secretive about the products that we were working on.
Even inside the company, people really wouldn't talk with each other about what they were working on.
And obviously there was an enormous amount of fear, partially informed by our competitive experience, with Meta always knocking off our products, that we really should not talk about what we're building, even internally.
And I think that was a huge mistake because one of the most important things that I think leaders do, or at least that I do, is communicating with our team and, of course, facilitating that inside the company.
It's so important to the culture.
It's so important to furthering the vision.
It's so important to making sure we get the best ideas from all over the company.
