00:03Facebook was one of the first big products that was really an experience more than anything

00:12else.

00:13And as such, the user interface itself needs to be really pleasing.

00:17The product itself got more complex and as we added more engineers to the team, we didn't

00:22hit a wall, but it started to get really, really hard to make changes.

00:25That was around the time that Jordan was on the ads team and he's like, there's got to

00:28be a better way.

00:29Hey, wouldn't it be easier if anytime anything happened, API state changes, user type something,

00:36we just blow away the entire UI and we re-render all of it.

00:40It was so far outside of everybody's idea of how things should work and do work.

00:44Yeah, it took a lot of commitment.

01:13people share your message.

01:14You can't just be shouting it yourself.

01:17We started working on a JavaScript library that helps us do that and we call it React.

01:21It turned into a bit of a troll fest for no good reason.

01:24I don't think that it was clear that it was going to become a popular project.

01:29To be honest, I think that it very easily might not have been.

01:39I like React's story, though, because it's like it was a slow burn.

01:43Yeah, it was a real slow burn.
