The Four Meta Secrets of Scaling at Facebook

You'd think so, wouldn't you? But apparently it's just a new development in the link-whoring ecosystem... instead of spicing up dull facts by claiming they're secrets, you can now claim they're meta-secret!

Of course the meta-meta-secret here is that these meta-secrets are neither secret nor in any way interesting. Want to hear the first meta-secret? "Scaling takes iteration". Like, whoa.

Prepare to have your mind blown by the second meta-secret: "Don't over design".

You'll never guess the third meta-secret! "Choose the right tool for the job". I never would have thought that choosing the right tool for the job could possibly be important!

And the fourth meta-secret? Well, I'm going to keep that as a meta-secret of my own.
