while the word hacking has some negative connotations, at Facebook it means “building something quickly or testing the boundaries of what can be done.” This means constantly trying out new ideas in rough form. “Hackers try to build the best services over the long term by quickly releasing and learning from smaller iterations rather than trying to get everything right all at once . . . Instead of debating for days whether a new idea is possible or what the best way to build something is, hackers would rather just prototype something and see what works.”
