It's so weird that all of the supposed Twitter bots are 100% far left deep state. All of them. Only left-leaning bots. I mean.... Interesting.

confused posted:As someone who has co-founded two successful companies as a VP Eng, I can assure you that you are wrong. I know it's popular to say that he's a bad engineer, but it's just not true. He obviously wasn't acting as an individual contributer at Telsa or SpaceX, but go look at interviews with him. He has very deep understanding of many disperate fields of engineering and can hold his own in discussions with any expert in the field. Just because you are good at one thing means you are good at others. The reverse is also true. He doesn't actually have an engineering degree and all his companies were already up and running when he bought them, except for the one that made the novelty flamethrower.

Being able to hold a conversation about a field is not indicative in any way of competency in accomplishing stuff within that field.

I know it's fun to bash on Elon. He deserves it. There are plently of brilliant engineers who have no degrees and plently of terrible engineers with great degrees. For example, I've never worked with a single good engineer who had a PhD from MIT. I've never met one who wasn't waaaaay up their own rear end.

I have faith in Musk as an engineer, just look at that crew he assembled for that slingshot trip around the moon that is absolutely totally going to happen in 2023. Only a genius of Musk's caliber could have recruited a team like that.

confused posted:The difference, IMHO, is that Tesla is, at it's core, an engineering company. Musk, for all of his flaws, is a brilliant engineer. Twitter is not an engineering company. Twitter has always had a subpar engineering team. Which is fine because the engineering behind Twitter isn't that complex. Yeah, you have scaling issues, but it's nothing compared to the engineering challenges of Tesla or, especially, SpaceX. Musk suffers from the belief that there is always an engineering solution to problems. None of Twitter's problems are releated to engineering. It's all about social policy and managing relationships with advertisers. Two things Musk is horrible at and actively dislikes. For example, there is a reason that Tesla has never had a PR department which is a insane thing for a company as large as Tesla. He is not an engineer. He is kept at arms length from any engineering because he is an absolutely moron. He lied about his scientific and engineering credentials. confused posted:Or, you know, someone who has been building engineering teams in SV startups for the last 25 years who might know more about it than someone who says, "LOL! Elon isn't a real engineer!" He has never done engineering. Ever. In his life. Get that out of your head. Either someone is lying to you or you are buying into an image he's tried to launder off for ages. Musk is never and has never been an engineer. He's repeatedly lied about his engineering and scientific credentials and has bought an image, not earned it. All the stories from both SpaceX and Tesla have been that Musk has to be kept at length away from Engineering because he repeatedly goes on firing rampages including firing critical engineering team members on a whim.

I'm a very senior IC technical product dude at a big tech company, I used to be a (not very good) engineer. Before this debacle I thought you could say a lot of very negative things about him, but I never would have said he didn't understand building software. From all of the insane things I have seen him do ("a-duh wot do dese microservices do??? Let's turn them off and bring the AWS bill down! What do you mean Oauth is broken?") I am now absolutely convinced he doesn't understand basically anything about SaaS at any type of scale.

I'm just catching up, but that fluff piece from HarrisX saying a majority of Americans totally want Elmo to stay on at Twitter was just embarrassing. I used to work in market research, and there wasn't enough information given to even call it a bullshit poll. It was presented with nothing but buzzwords and results, nothing about methodology at all. I could craft a more convincing piece of "research" off the top of my head.

Mokotow posted:Musk is not an engineer. He claims to hold degrees in engineering no one can confirm he actually received. There are no patents or designs known to have been created by him. I mean he wrote that code in that Sega CD game to make the FMV better. Without his engineering, the FMV in Cadillacs and Dinosaurs for Sega CD would have been even shittier than it is. if you think about it, Twitter is a lot like Cadillacs and Dinosaurs.
