That's what I thought at first too. But it's a new/fun product and it's way too risky for them to do that.

Story: I learned recently we're "doubling down" and "going hard" on a space. What that meant was 4 years of internal discussions to finally decide to commit to building a feature Facebook has had for 5 years already.

No way they're going to move fast enough or commit hard enough to make a team out of this. At best VP wants to advance their own career by showing up with interesting ideas.
