back in uh 2005 pretty close to when I
first started at Facebook maybe like
this is week two or week three um trying
to figure out what to do nobody was
really giving me much Direction and I
remember Mark walking up to me and he's
like hey dude I think you should um
write a search engine for Facebook yeah
just you yeah it's like you and what
team right I was like and he's like it's
really important because when people
come on to Facebook the first thing they
want to do is search for people and then
my first reaction was like Mark I I
don't know how to write a search engine
I never done this why don't we go hire
somebody from Google or Yahoo to do this
and he looked at me he's like dude if I
can build Facebook you can build a damn
search
engine um and you did and I did I mean
it's like I I there's like
and and when I say it was the like 30
seconds that I still think about which
is all of us can build whatever we put
our minds to um and this is kind of the
culture that for me still defines
Facebook right which is that there's
this hacker can do total ownership
culture that if I could actually tell
every startup in the world to like take
one thing which is that all of you can
do whatever you want as long as you put
your mind to it it's probably easier
than you think
