When I visited Facebook's HQ years ago, people had modified signs saying "Move fast and break things" by adding a prefix "Don't".

I'm sure they knew this was propaganda. The little red book is a very clear reference (just do a search for "little red book" if anyone doesn't recognize the reference).

Mocking the signs at Facebook started literally the day after they appeared suddenly in the 1601 building. "Break fast and eat things", and so on. There was a very fancy print shop on site and we would work up spoofs on the same equipment.

A large percentage of programmers of a certain generation got their start in the graphic design world.
