He would build solar powered vertical farms in the desert but probably forget they need things like water, nutrients and transport infrastructure. Then he would try and transport everything in teslas.

But it’s not bad code if it’s doing exactly what it was programmed to do?

Make a white hierarchy where you rank us best to worst, using whatever weird race science rules the Federal Klavern of American Dragon Wizards agree on, then people are allowed to "contract" those below them in the hierarchy to provide meat for sustenance. We could all get on Teams group chat and brag about how much more of ourselves we're sacrificing for our jobs, just like now, but in a 1970s scifi, heavy handed metaphor, kind of way. "Yep, thanks to my dedication I was able to get the family a below ground pool... can't use it myself, since Gavin McInnes ate my legs, but the point is I have it."

They consulted a lot of people in the industry to make the show so it doesn't surprise me that it's surprisingly realistic. Apparently they talked to venture capital people and actually had to lower the dollar amounts they get for the company in the first season because the amount the VC's said they would be given was just not believable by an audience.

This excerpt from the New Yorker article about the show is one of my favourites https://www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/how-silicon-valley-nails-silicon-valley


quote:

During one visit to Google’s headquarters, in Mountain View, about six writers sat in a conference room with Astro Teller, the head of GoogleX, who wore a midi ring and kept his long hair in a ponytail. “Most of our research meetings are fun, but this one was uncomfortable,” Kemper told me. GoogleX is the company’s “moonshot factory,” devoted to projects, such as self-driving cars, that are difficult to build but might have monumental impact. Hooli, a multibillion-dollar company on “Silicon Valley,” bears a singular resemblance to Google. (The Google founder Larry Page, in Fortune: “We’d like to have a bigger impact on the world by doing more things.” Hooli’s C.E.O., in season two: “I don’t want to live in a world where someone makes the world a better place better than we do.”) The previous season, Hooli had launched HooliXYZ, its own “moonshot factory,” whose experiments were slapstick absurdities: monkeys who use bionic arms to masturbate; powerful cannons for launching potatoes across a room. “He claimed he hadn’t seen the show, and then he referred many times to specific things that had happened on the show,” Kemper said. “His message was, ‘We don’t do stupid things here. We do things that actually are going to change the world, whether you choose to make fun of that or not.’ ” (Teller could not be reached for comment.)

Teller ended the meeting by standing up in a huff, but his attempt at a dramatic exit was marred by the fact that he was wearing Rollerblades. He wobbled to the door in silence. “Then there was this awkward moment of him fumbling with his I.D. badge, trying to get the door to open,” Kemper said. “It felt like it lasted an hour. We were all trying not to laugh. Even while it was happening, I knew we were all thinking the same thing: Can we use this?” In the end, the joke was deemed “too hacky to use on the show.”

I'm still in awe at how Musk's thinking really went:

1. "The twitter app is slow because it executes 1200 RPCs on startup" (this appears to be false)
2. "Twitter has approximately the same number of microservices running in its backend" (this seems unlikely, unless he's referring to individual machines)
3. "Therefore, the number of microservices determines the number of RPCs" (this seems very wrong unless Twitter architecture is truly ludicrous)
4. "Therefore, by just shutting down microservices we will directly improve app performance" (this is just completely insane)

Those sorts of joke job titles can be interpretive.

I’d assume he was a very influential programmer on the backend and also worked on some of the API. Probably a prolific and respected code reviewer.
