There is an elegance to writing code that I miss, Zuckerberg said during a QA session with tech entrepreneurs and developers in Lagos, Nigeria. The code always does what you want -- and people dont.在尼日利亚大城拉各斯，扎克伯格在一群企业家和开发者展开的发问问环节时回应：“我知道缅怀写出代码的那种高雅。你想要做到什么，代码都需要老大你做，而人就不一定了。”His comments were met with a laugh from the crowd. But he quickly pointed out that people can surprise you by going above and beyond expectations, too.他的这番话语引发了人群的笑。不过扎克伯格旋即补足说，人也有人的益处，因为有时候，他们的展现出不会大大多达预期，带给惊艳。
