He told me that, even if most technical people seem to consider Zuckerberg as something of an incompetent odd ball, he thought Facebook's CEO was genius in the way the company tech teams were organized. He thought that Zuckerberg's method was one of the key ingredient of facebook's success as a tech company.
I never really heard of it before. I never really looked at Mark Zuckerberg for inspiration. Around me, everybody is talking about scrum and agile all the time.
Ethical problem aside, what do you think of 'The Hacker Way' and other organisationnal aspects of Facebook tech teams ?
I found this https://www.wired.com/2012/02/zuck-letter/
The hacker way principles would be :
* Focus on Impact
* Move Fast and break things
* Be Bold
* Be Open
* Build Social Value
Focus on impact and move fast seem to have a real practical value. The other 3 sound to me like the usual empty insight-epiphanies that huge tech companies give us every quarter to make us feel they're doing what they're doing to make the world a better place. In other words : some kind of manipulation with big words and big sentiments.
Does any one have any practical experience about 'The Hacker Way' and the way it's seen or applied in the companies other than facebook?
