so many software places do flexible working and let people chill and drink a bit in between working because it's a mentally exhausting job and those are reasonable measures to take to avoid people dropping out due to burnout this moron here wants people to do stakhanovite programming and that's not something any human can do for any sustained period lol

I'm one of those weirdos that likes space rocketry, but I genuinely don't understand how they've at SpaceX managed to retain the competencies they have with this idiots "leadership".

He’s made it obvious he’s a know nothing dipshit to every computer toucher in the industry. He’s offering some random vague “maybe stock for the best” nebulous promise. There’s only one reason why anyone would want to put up with this literal professional hell and it’s the chance to lick Elon’s boots. Most of the engineers still there are likely stuck due to visas or health insurance or such.

I read some guy who put it as "at this point Trump is on poster's methadone, and he would probably stay clean if he had the chance to get the real poo poo." Except the real poo poo is collapsing into the void. I wonder where Elon is going to get his posting fix when Twitter dies

Splorange posted:I'm one of those weirdos that likes space rocketry, but I genuinely don't understand how they've at SpaceX managed to retain the competencies they have with this idiots "leadership". Like what loving dynamics are in play there? Musk doesn't actually run SpaceX (though he is listed as the CEO and CTO). He's the "idea guy". The actual running of the business is actually done by Gwynne Shotwell who's a real and true engineer and not a coked up moron. I've heard (likely apocryphal) stories of how early on he was told to sit down and shut up because running a rocket company takes actual experience and knowledge and loving around can be life and death and the federal government crawling so far up your rear end they set up a base camp on your butt cheeks. Still, I've also heard that he's had them re-invent the wheel there a few times, but from what I understand for non-critical pieces.

Ever since elon sent out his "are you hardcore enough to save twitter 2.0 (check one): Yes No" ultimatum, I've been having "I told u I was hardcore" pinging around in my head, the last words of some dude that killed himself on stream via drug overdose and made the rounds here on the forums as a catchphrase like 20 years ago. Each time something new comes out it seems more relevant both to twitter's situation and the method by which elon decides to go out on like 5-10 years from now.Hardcastlemccormik posted:It’s increasingly obvious to me Elon doesn’t believe this is a crisis.
