Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg celebrates Andrew Bosworth's 10 year anniversary at Facebook

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg yesterday joined his facebook team despite being on paternity leave to celebrate one of their founding members who happened to be one of his teaching fellow at Harvard. Andrew Bosworth was invited by Mark when we was planning to set up the facebook team 10 year ago.Read what he wrote on his wall this morning below,

"Today we're celebrating Andrew Bosworth's 10 year anniversary at Facebook! (I still have one more week of paternity leave, but I stopped by the office to help celebrate.)

I first met Boz, as we all call him, at Harvard in a class on AI. He was the teaching fellow responsible for helping my section and grading our work. He made such a strong impression on me that as soon as I started building our team for Facebook, I called all my smartest teachers and friends and he was one of the first people I talked to.

Boz has been one of the most influential people in Facebook's history. He wrote a lot of the code for the original News Feed, and then went on to lead several engineering teams, including messages and profiles. Over the past few years, he has led our product effort to have a great ads experience on mobile and desktop. His work is one of the reasons our community is so strong today, and he has been an important cultural voice around our mission and values.

Boz, thank you for being a great friend and partner, and for everything you do to make the world more open and connected."
