I wonder if there is a way to calculate the total cost of lost developer productivity due to Facebook bugs, changes, and bad documentation. I swear I spend way too much of my time dealing with it, and it sounds like everyone else does too.

Projects that integrate with Facebook API: 10,000?

Average dev hours to integrate with a typical API: 10?

Hours spent dealing with various Facebook API problems for every hour of real work: 1?

So figure... order of 100,000 dev hours? Adjust according to whatever you think those orders should be.
