Fail fast. Facebook’s motto used to be “Move fast and break things.” If you don’t have a culture accepts failure, no innovation #dml09ppp

Mark Zuckerberg On Innovation

Mark Zuckerberg started Facebook in his Harvard dorm room in 2004.  Five years later, it has 300 million users and $500 million in revenue, and it’s worth something north of $6 billion.
 
Now 25, Mark still runs the place.
 
He was kind enough to sit down with me recently to talk about how the heck he did it.
 
“Move fast and break things” is Mark’s prime directive to his developers and team. “Unless you are breaking stuff,” he says, “you are not moving fast enough.”

Mark Zuckerberg says we all should “move fast and break things”. Could be ‘move in and steal someone else’s idea’. #probablygenius though.

Facebook’s Zuckerberg explains ‘the Hacker Way’
By Benny Evangelista Published 4:00 am, Friday, February 3, 2012

Move fast: “Moving fast enables us to build more things and learn faster. However, as most companies grow, they slow down too much because they’re more afraid of making mistakes than they are of losing opportunities by moving too slowly. We have a saying: ‘Move fast and break things.’ The idea is that if you never break anything, you’re probably not moving fast enough.

Facebook Changes Its ‘Move Fast and Break Things’ Motto
BY SAMANTHA MURPHY KELLY
APR 30, 2014
Facebook’s mantra for developers has long been “Move Fast and Break Things.” It meant that new tools and features on the platform might not be perfect, but creation speed was key, even if there were some missteps along the way.
 
Now, CEO Mark Zuckerberg wants to be a little more careful in getting it right the first time. As a part of his keynote presentation at the F8 Developers conference on Wednesday, he announced Facebook is now embracing the motto “Move Fast With Stable Infra.”

The Unavoidable Truth Of Moving Fast And Breaking Things
Posted Mar 10, 2015 by Andrew McCollum (@wirehog)
Editor’s note: Andrew McCollum is a co-founder of Facebook and investor in Opbeat, an ops platform for developers.
“Move fast and break things”: It’s one of the principles that has guided Facebook’s development process since its earliest days. These five words encapsulate a philosophy of rapid development, constant iteration and the courage to leave the past behind. Of course, some might wonder why you couldn’t just stop at the “move fast” part. The truth is that breaking things is unavoidable.

Walk through Facebook’s Menlo Park headquarters and you’ll be visually bombarded with dozens of different minimalistic posters plastered with phrases like “Done is Better than Perfect” and “Move Fast and Break Things.”
 
The motivational quips really do act as rallying cries for employees, including Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg.
