In this context, Facebook software engineer David Alvas wrote in a published post, hacking is an important part of security, which helps us to build Facebook appropriately. When we design a major product like Timeline it's hackathon based. And for this we create advanced search algorithms and tearing down walls. Always trying to discover the most advanced methods to solve problems through hacking. The final phase of the competition, which started in January this year, will be held in March.
