Mark Zuckerberg Gets Reflective as He Nears 30

Espouses motto of 'ship love' at the f8 conference

Facebook has a new unofficial motto: Ship Love. The old motto everyone knows is Move Fast and Break Things, but at today’s f8 developers conference a kindler, gentler Mark Zuckerberg revealed himself.

The Facebook CEO is on the verge of 30, which is old in Silicon Valley. On stage, he reflected on his march to middle age, on his 10 years with Facebook, and on 10 years since meeting his wife Priscilla Chan.

He seems to have discovered that hacking is not the only thing that matters in this world, and in a sensitive moment he delivered a new kind of vision for his company.

“My goal for the culture of Facebook is to build a culture of loving the people we serve that is as strong if not stronger than hacking at Facebook,” he said.
