This is something I’ve been worried about myself. Also, Zuckerberg is an asshole:
“I want to stress the importance of being young and technical,” Facebook’s CEO (now 28) told a Y Combinator Startup event at Stanford University in 2007. “Young people are just smarter. Why are most chess masters under 30? I don’t know. Young people just have simpler lives. We may not own a car. We may not have family. Simplicity in life allows you to focus on what’s important.”
Translation: We have created 21st century sweatshops, where employees work 100 hours a week, and we give them free food, massages, and dry cleaning to keep them from leaving the building.
