I'm humbled by Mark Zuckerberg

Not so humbled that you would shy away from posting here, apparently :-(
It gets weirder and weirder thinking about how he's the same guy I roomed with 7 years ago at summer camp.
I kind of agree. Sure, he may or may not have done things that nerds like us look down upon, but like Bill Gates, anyone who's worth that much on paper must have done something right.
I am not. He's a fraud.

I only read starting at p. 294, but don't think Zuckerberg came off too badly in your recounting. He was impatient, aggressive, and calculated he could do the social-network thing better on his own... and it looks like he was right.
BTW, if want to milk your experience for attention, you could position yourself as "Mark Zuckerberg's Gary Kildall".
This dude is far smarter than I expect. I am fairly certain Facebook will overtake Yahoo as the premier go-to site within 5 years. I'm deeply humbled.

Side side note: Posts like this are a good way to blow 21 karma.
Yet another side note: Why are folks so merciless here? Sure, mod the post down to 0 points. But -13? That's just silly. Why are such low numbers allowed in the first place?
You think news.yc is merciless? You haven't been on reddit enough. :)
