    *Blast from the Past*

    “After joining, I was most surprised to find that Facebook’s motto of “Move fast and break things” is real. I’ll never forget my second day on the job when Chris Cox, our V.P. of Product, assigned me the task to fix a pretty complex bug in News Feed. I’d never written php in my life, but a few hours later when I got my code working and ready for review, he said “Cool, ship it!” with a big smile on his face. At first I didn’t think he was serious, but once it shipped, I realized that I had just pushed out a change on my second day that 25 million people would experience instantly.”

    FEEL THE POWER.  And read the rest here — it’s pretty rad.

    The worst reason not to ship is fear.

    Seth Godin was onto something when he wrote that all too often, we don’t want to get more done.  Getting more done means exposing yourself to more risk, which almost always means failing more frequently.

    No one “likes” to fail, but this year we’re laughing in the face of that fear.  Ships will sail in 2012, and we hope to see yours in the mix.
