45. So...

I only open Facebook about once a month. I have only ever posted regarding my high school class and a couple other things friend related. That is it.

Now, perhaps someone can verify or correct me on this…I am under the impression that Zuckerberg was not some genius coder when he wrote the code to create Facebook. I assume that others improved the code as time progressed. That would include any algorithms that Facebook uses.

So, basically, Zuckerberg is wealthy because of luck and the work of others. We see now that he isn’t some genius but a guy who has control of a corporation that has immense impact on society while having little actual ability to run said corporation.

He is a man-child.
