All else aside Zuck was basically a kid when the whole Facebook rocket ship ride took off. Nobody is their best self all day every day. Personally I always thought he came over as kind of an asshole but you have to keep hit pieces like these in the right frame. The shortest accurate answer to what's Zuck like is "I never met him" the rest is just clicks and hot air.


But the author here worked with him directly for years, the article recounts several personal interactions that went weird. You haven't met him, neither have I, but the person we're talking about certainly has.


Are you really saying that first hand evidence of Zuck’s character is irrelevant to our understanding of him because it relates to a period when he was relatively young? We can’t use that together with his more recent actions to create a more complete picture of his character and motivations. That biographies should all start at age 30?


But also... there's been a whooole lot of smoke from his "benefit of the doubt" card burning up for a looong time now.
