DISQUS

    Spoke to a Facebook friend of mine and he resigned on Friday.

    I have no insight on the matter, but if the candidate(s) for the next CTO is (are) internal, then the leader would be Jonathan Heiliger. Or so I would think. Already an insider, tons of experience. Again, this is just a guess. I was kind of surprised to find out he was already there and was not the CTO.

    Any idea where he's going? If I was in his shoes, it'd be sippin' 'tinis on the beach for the rest of my days. Would be well deserved, too.

    D'Angelo left because he is too inexperienced to lead a multi-billion dollar Internet company's technical infrastructure program. The lie of Gen Y exposed.

    Any executive in facebook team is except the several lately joined grown-ups? I am saying none of them had such experience just as D'Angelo does, they may prove they will have though.

    He is an extremely accomplished entrepreneur and CTO- I doubt his replacement had the "experience" when he/she was that young and surely has not build anything remotely as successful as fb from the ground up. In terms of meeting the massive scaling demand fb as been extremely successful. Well done Adam!
