I stopped reading about two seconds in, when it popped up some dumb thing trying to get me to log in / sign up.

I wanted to share a note I wrote to everyone at our company. --- Hey everyone: it's been quite a week, and I wanted to share some thoughts with all of you. First, the SEV that took down all our services yesterday was the worst outage we've had in years. We've spent the past 24 hours debriefing how we can strengthen our systems against this kind of failure. This was also a reminder of how much our work matters to peop…
Did anyone edit or proof this beyond maybe spelling an grammar? It comes across as incredibly sophomoric and petty. Moreover it reads like the nervous retort of someone who isn’t used to being questioned or contradicted. This seems like exactly the wrong tone at the moment.

"When I reflect on our work, I think about the real impact we have on the world -- the people who can now stay in touch with their loved ones, create opportunities to support themselves, and find community. This is why billions of people love our products. I'm proud of everything we do to keep building the best social products in the world and grateful to all of you for the work you do here every day."
this is cherry picking a bit much, but I guess it's not unexpected.

#27This is the type of corporate thinking characteristic of people who've been in their roles too long - over invested, myopic, and out of touch.
The real question is, what is the end game for Zuckerberg and who takes over FB next? This may be the inflection point on the curve.

#29Honestly am I the only one that doesn’t think that Facebook is that bad? Some of those points that he makes really should make you stop and think.

Yeah. The second paragraph honestly just made me dislike him and want to close my account.
