Whatever Zuckerberg's mantra back in the day -- when he didn't have limitless capital or a monopoly on social media -- it doesn't seem that it applies to their software or engineering quality today. Any breakage that seems to happen seem to come from dealing with the user side. Whether these fuckups come from careless expansion without proper consideration, or just the difficulty inherent in making a platform meant to be universal for the world's social communication -- they don't seem to be in the same class of fuckups as poor software design and devops.

What other software is there that has to deal with such diverse user input and diverse expectations of output? Even Apple had problems with just autocorrect for the typing of messages.
