<dropping knowledge> What many people don't know is that the motto never was intended to be "move fast & break things." Rather, it's "move fast and don't be afraid to break things." Slightly less bold, yes, but definitely more empowering to feel confident and not be afraid to take risks.
There's a bit of internal debate that now that the phrase has been shortened that it's used as an excuse to be sloppy for the sake of "getting shit done" (as they say at Box). Still, given that I used to work at places where mistakes were consistently held against you, I like the idealism here.

Except that there is an illusion of "mistakes won't be held against you" some managers are shitty, some people are viciously protective over their fiefdoms within FB and if you step on their toes you get immediate negative pushback...
