Facebook is
firing on all cylinders. Now Mark Zuckerberg is looking to the decade ahead,
from AI to VR to drones.
"Mark is
fixing stuff."
I’m killing time
in the Frank Gehry–designed Building 20, whose signature feature is its soaring
434,000 square feet of open space, the latest addition to Facebook’s campus in Menlo Park, California. A PR handler is explaining why CEO
Mark Zuckerberg is running slightly behind schedule for our chat. I express
surprise. Mark still fixes stuff?
"To say
he’s actively involved," she confides, "is an understatement. He
notices things that are broken before anybody."
As recently as
2012, the year Zuckerberg set a personal goal to code every day, that might
have meant he had detected something glitchy on Facebook’s site and was
reprogramming it himself. When he emerges a few minutes later, unspecified
stuff presumably fixed, we sit down on adjacent couches in a fishbowl
conference room near his desk in Building 20, and Zuckerberg makes it clear
that those days are gone. "If we’re trying to build a world-class News
Feed, and a world-class messaging product, and a world-class search product,
and a world-class ad system, and invent virtual reality, and build drones, I
can’t write every line of code," he tells me. "I can’t write any
lines of code."
