The spirit of that slogan is more like "Move fast and don't be afraid to disrupt established patterns". The intention is to give employees licence to think out of the box and try out lots of new ideas, without being bogged down by what has gone before. Everyone I've talked to (I personally don't have a lot of experience at jobs outside of Facebook and academia) agrees that Facebook offers you unparalleled freedom to go forth and have impact, unencumbered by red tape and naysayers.

That's not to defend API breakages or incomplete documentation and the pain it causes developers -- I'm not directly involved, but I know that we're definitely trying to get that turned around and fix some of the issues with Facebook Platform.

When things break, get fixed and then break again, its just a childish mistake, not "freedom".
