      Why am I not surprised to find that this was written by @zeynep? Notwithstanding this, in these 15 years, Zuck has also _built_ Facebook, but hindsight and backseat commentary from top-flight sociologists is obviously equally valuable. https://www.wired.com/story/why-zuckerberg-15-year-apology-tour-hasnt-fixed-facebook/ …

      In the future perhaps all CS dropouts will be required to adopt a sociologist, just in case they become successful?

          Even if they aren’t successful super valuable. At Stanford, we’ve had a big divide between techies fuzzies. Some data sci at FB have more power than nearly any editor in human history, but no training in why journalism is structured the way it is

          In my experience, they have read more on the topic and have had more arguments and tried more than all professional journalists combined. It’s still very naive in obvious ways—I’ve been vocal about the lack of international sensitivity, in spite of detailed demographic knowledge.

          Dude, if this is hindsight, Facebook isn't hiring the right people.

          I suppose they could retrain sociologists to code?
