Facebook is probably one of the few sites that could have written part of it on fast C++ code. In a F1 race, you will use a F1 car.
Facebook is "24 hours of Le Mans" or "Dakar Rally" than F1.

Comment Open Source development is like cycling (Score 1) 334
Open source development is like cycling. The main project is peloton. Normally, everybody goes with the peloton. But sometimes escape groups formed, which is a kind of fork. Some escapes are very short-lived, some continues for a while and swallowed by the peloton through the end of the stage, and some succeeds by getting a stage win.
Sometimes, if you are too slow, you can't keep pace with the peloton and keep touch with them. You never have a chance to catch them alone and abandon the race.
