Facebook is the former home of 'move fast and break things'. Now it's falling apart. Barely useable. My friends are moving to other platforms because it's simply not consistently capable of sending a message. The CEO is bored of it and wants to play around with more interesting domains. I can't even scroll down my feed without being catapulted randomly around the page by broken javascript. The only user-facing developments are around copying another, less-buggy, equally-closed social network.

So how did the break-things experiment go? Is it a success because the stock was at one point worth an inconceivable amount of money? Or is it a failure because it can't stand up under its own weight and will never catch up to its inevitable successor?
