Facebook's core values include a powerful, results-oriented, anti-theoretical philosophy called "The Hacker Way," according to founder Mark Zuckerberg.

"The Hacker Way is an approach to building that involves continuous improvement and iteration," Zuckerberg writes. "Hackers believe that something can always be better, and that nothing is ever complete. They just have to go fix it -- often in the face of people who say it’s impossible or are content with the status quo."
