Operation Developer Love

Facebook has for the most part burnt their bridge with me. I won't take client work with a significant Facebook component simply due to the risk of it.

However I welcome the announcement, and the possibility that over time they could improve the situation and win me back. It is truly a remarkable platform, and in my opinion would be perfect with just a little more stability, communication and responsiveness to bugs.

This post is especially relevant and worth a read given all the recent talk here of the facebook platform. I'll remain a skeptic, but the sincerity of this message gives me some hope that things really will change.

He phrases this as an attempt to regain "our" trust, which implies an understanding that they have lost it. I suppose this is the best we could ask for - here's hoping for the best.

"109 new bugs were reported in Bugzilla"

I'm not sure that a post about developer love should contain the word "Bugzilla" unless the sentence begins with "We're migrating away from..."

As a Facebook employee not involved with Platform, I'll say that I've seen (from afar) a lot of people realizing this needs lots of fixing and working to improve things.

As long as Yujuan Bao is the one charged with writing the docs for the iOS Facebook Connect, I don't believe you. He may be a great guy, but his English, frankly, sucks and he shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a README commit bit.

I hope they stick to their word on this. I'm tired of the search results on the Graph API disappearing for hours at a time.

Missing one thing, Zuckerberg should've posted it.
