In 20+ years of developing, I've only heard non-technical (or well past their prime technical) folks use the terms "heavy duty" or "hardcore" to describe programming.
- abudabi123 4y ago"heavy duty", "hardcore", "falcon heavy", "cybertruck". Those terms relate. I guess he means appreciating programming down to the electron, photon millisecond when debugging a lost rocket launch three times in a row burning his money in the sense of physics and not some kind of marketty arbitrary opaque name for flavor of framework, platform package container combo.
- rurp 4y agoHow much "photon millisecond" level rocket debugging has Elon personally done?
- discardable_dan 4y agoAbout as much as anyone else at SpaceX: none at all.
- spoils19 4y agoAgreed. I'd expect the average HNer to emphasise with those terms as we all work in complicated and intense industries, but I guess there will always be disappointment as non-Conservatives join the World Wide Web.
- Fatnino 4y agoThe name falcon heavy is a direct riff on the name delta 4 heavy. ULA just slaps 3 delta 4 first stages side by side and that's the heavy variant. Falcon heavy is the same thing but with falcon 9. I don't think it has anything to do with heavy duty.
- lamontcg 4y agoLaunch vehicles are categorized into small-lift (<2t LEO) medium-lift (>=2t LEO), heavy-lift (>=20t LEO) and superheavy-lift (>=50t LEO). Falcon Heavy is capable of 57t (recoverable) to 64t (expendable) which makes it actually superheavy-lift. (Although the Falcon Heavy has never actually demonstrated this ability)

- stoplying1 4y agoI've worked with people who are that old in the industry and they don't use those terms. Elon is projecting here. Big time. I feel like I can just see the impotent self-victimization and glorification between the lines. And walking in with a sink and Tesla engineers to "review Twitters code". Better watch my tongue, but l-o-l.
- 411111111111111 4y agoI can't imagine how delusional a person has to be to think it's even possible to review codebases as large as that. They'd need years to go through everything
- zarq 4y agoYou don't need to go through everything to form an opinion. I bet they're only interested in a couple of specific points, and not a full review of every single line.
- 411111111111111 4y agoSure, good luck finding these hotspots in a distributed environment likely consisting of hundreds if not thousands of artifacts. You'll have to trust the developers (not the reviewers) to point out these spots and at that point the review is pointless as the developers could've told you the same thing. It's just a security (or in this case quality) theater to make some people feel important if that's how you do it.
- PainfullyNormal 4y agoI've heard technical people use those terms when they're talking down (or up, depending on your perspective) to management.
