In a matter of hours, thousands downloaded it. The computer systems handling the photos kept crashing. Neither of them knew what to do.

Whos, like, the smartest person I know who I can call up? Mr. Systrom remembered thinking. He scrolled through his phone and found his man: Adam DAngelo, a former chief technology officer at Facebook. They had met at a party seven years earlier, over beers in red plastic cups, at the Sigma Nu fraternity at Stanford University. That night in October 2010, Mr. DAngelo
