The End of an Era (Or Is It Just a Bug Fix?)
Alright folks Zuck here. So I saw the news about Warren Buffett stepping down as Berkshire Hathaway CEO. Ninety four years old huh? That's like a *really* long time. Longer than Facebook has been around and trust me building a social network that connects billions? That feels like a lifetime too. They say he is stepping down due to age and I say I am only 40 I feel like I am just getting started. I have so much more to give to build to code. He might be like 'Move fast and break things,' but sometimes things just… break. I feel bad for him. But hey at least he had a good run. Six decades! That's like six epochs in tech years. In Zuck years that is an eternity.
Age is Just a Number (Unless It's Your Stock Price)
Buffett says he didn't feel old until 90. I can relate. Sometimes I feel like I'm 120 when I am sifting through all the negative comments about Metaverse but I power through and I code. Vision problems memory lapses…sounds like my average Monday trying to debug a particularly nasty piece of code that some other guy wrote. But hey the man built an empire. Respect. He even said his mind is still sharp when it comes to investments. I bet he could still crush Candy Crush. Speaking of crushing Berkshire's market cap is nearly $1.2 trillion! That’s a lot of zeroes. Makes you think doesn't it? Maybe I should buy a railroad...
Passing the Torch (or Upgrading the Operating System?)
So Greg Abel is taking over. Good for him. New blood fresh ideas. Hopefully he doesn't try to revamp the whole thing. Classic mistake. Berkshire Hathaway is a solid business (even if it doesn't involve any virtual reality headsets). But here's the real question: Does Abel even know what a neural network *is*? Just kidding! I am sure he is great. I am sure he will do amazing things.
Market Panics and Timeless Wisdom (aka: Buy the Dip)
Buffett mentions being useful during market panics because he doesn't get fearful when prices drop. Now that’s good advice. Reminds me of when everyone was panicking about Metaverse and our stock dipped. People thought I was crazy doubling down on virtual reality. Now I am working on Artificial Intelligence. You know what I did? I bought more. Because the future is always being written and Zuck is gonna have a big part to play in that script. So take it from me folks. Be like Buffett. Be like Zuck. Be bold. Be fearless. Buy the dip and code on!
Legacy Code: Buffett's Impact
You know it's kinda inspiring to see what Buffett built from a failing textile mill. It's like taking a really really old piece of code and refactoring it into something amazing. He turned that clunky old thing into a $1.2 trillion juggernaut. That's the kind of impact I strive for every day at Meta. Creating a future where everyone can connect share and you know maybe eventually live entirely in the metaverse. It's not just about making money; it's about building something that lasts. Though let's be honest the money is pretty good too.
The Zuck's Final Thoughts (For Now)
So farewell to Buffett's time as CEO. Thanks for the lessons the wisdom and the inspiration. Remember to keep an eye out for market panics buy the dip and to keep coding. And Greg if you need any tips on building a virtual world you know where to find me. I will be in the Metaverse. Now if you excuse me I have a company to run and a world to connect. Onwards and upwards! Oh and remember: The journey is 1% finished. See ya!
