"Choosing platforms to optimize developer experience enables you to get more features out the door faster"

That is correct in theory, but falls on the face with facebook and others. Unless you literally just mean "more features", and not improving what they're making. E.g. paying for promoted updates so friends see them in their cluttered stream surely is Yet Another Feature, but is it good? I guess it depends on who the market is, here..

If the thing were written in spaghetti code, it would at least mean people would have some time to think in between, or even manage to get out of their 20s before their redefine how grandma keeps in touch.

Still, I'm happy that they improved how their crappy soulless product runs on another crappy soulless product, it keeps them off the street.
