One of my most productive days was throwing away 1,000 lines of code.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Many days I don't write any code at all, and some days I spend all day writing code.
Personally, one of the down sides of founding a company is that there is always too much work to do, and sadly I find I don't have much time to code any more.
I'm so busy these days. I forget everything but my lines.
I've always been a creative workaholic. I have never had a period of my life where I didn't have at least half a dozen projects going on at once.
I love having time to prepare my lines and more time off.
When you're working on a huge, elaborate set that took months to create, and you're surrounded by hundreds of extras, you better remember your lines and know what you're doing in a scene!
I write about eight hours a day, and I throw away most of what I write.
I could have made money this way, and perhaps amused myself writing code. But I knew that at the end of my career, I would look back on years of building walls to divide people, and feel I had spent my life making the world a worse place.
The best thing for me is, when I'm not working, is to be at home and to have a script or two scripts is better, and to be just walking around the house and just thinking about the lines.
If we're trying to build a world-class News Feed and a world-class messaging product and a world-class search product and a world-class ad system, and invent virtual reality and build drones, I can't write every line of code. I can't write any lines of code.
