Fast Company Interview Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg

Mark Zuckerberg, the founder and coder of Facebook has been interviewed by Fast Company Blog. In the interview he speaks about the value of viral loops. See below for a small quote from the interview:

“Penenberg: How did you get into coding? What was your experience with it from a young age?

Penenberg: Did you take things apart and put them back?

Zuckerberg: I did that more with software than with hardware. You hear these stories about people who take apart their radio and put it back. Or just learn a lot from taking it apart. But I wasn’t as into that stuff as I was just into how computer programs work..

Penenberg: Did you teach yourself coding or what?

Zuckerberg: Yea, I mean I bought a book. Kinda messed around myself. Asked a lot of people questions….”
