I'm exhausted before I've even got started. And to think all Zuck needed for world domiation was a P4 with 256Mb RAM and procedural PHP. There's a lesson somewhere.

He wrote the initial version of the Face Book at university, but after he moved to SV had about 4 developers working in a house with him.

My understanding was that he was very focused on reliability since some of the other social media networks were so flaky at the time, like Friendster.

The P4 with 256Mb RAM I was referring to is the likely spec of the server Zuck was renting for $85/month when Facebook launched. Amazing, considering the spec we have available today for only a few $ per month.
