This story about how Zuck pushed @adityaag to his extreme & made him build the search engine in the early days is awesome!

Aditya was one of the early engg in Facebook & in week 2 of joining he was still figuring out what to do,none were giving any directions. Mark walked upto him & asked him to build a search engine -just him he didn't mean a team.

Because people want to search for others through the search engine in Facebook & this is crucial. Aditya was pretty skeptical about himself as he didn't know how to build one.

He suggested hiring someone from Google or Yahoo to build this out, Mark was like:

"Dude if I can build Facebook you can build a damn search engine"

And he actually ended up doing it!

Still now he shares this lesson from this defining moment of his life to every founders - Anything could be done if you'd put your mind into it.
