Well, Elon and SpaceX has the luxury of having a total control of the product's technical requirement.
Most probably this is because Elon, being the CEO, has enough technical prowess to oversee both the real-world requirement and technical aspect of the product. This allows the company to streamline the practical/from-real-world requirement and the technical specification, therefore eliminating "things that shouldn't have been built in the first place".
This is luxurious because other tech company either does not have and/or does not realize it must procure.
One of my personal daydream is to be in a period where this streamlined real-world requirement and technical specification is common, not a luxury.

- valand 6y agoNot excuses. I'm pointing out that to achieve the streamlined real-world-tech-spec, you need that kind of person. My wish is not only for my organization but for everybody. The world might be a better place if things are cheaper to maintain.
- hallqv 6y agoYou don't need to be Elon Musk to think hard about if you are optimizing for solving real world problems or something else. It's a habit of mind and the courage to change your circustances if you find yourself in a situation where it's not possible do things the right way (e.g. in a dysfunctional organization).
