Facebook CTO Adam D'Angelo Leaving

Facebook CTO and long time friend of CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Adam D’Angelo, is leaving the company, Kara Swisher is reporting tonight. D’Angelo told co-workers in a letter Friday that he’s ready for a break and feels like his talents and interests are no longer the best fit for the job.

Facebook has confirmed the departure, but sources indicated to Swisher that instead of searching for a replacement CTO, the company is currently looking for a VP of engineering.
