What code is he reviewing? And why is he reviewing it? There must be millions of lines of code. Also, why bring in Tesla employees? Twitter employees are also his own, they could do they review for him. Just shows how musk feels about Twitter and the people there. Such disrespect.

Agreed, it feels like a severely degrading and unnecessarily hostile act.

  In what way is it degrading to show your work?
  - bamboozled 4y ago
    So you'd be ok if you come to work tomorrow and some dudes are there all of a sudden asking you to print off your code looking for flaws so you can be fired? Even if that's not whats going on, you'd assume something similar ? Why else would people hardly familiar with a code base, lacking a lot of context want to randomly start scrutinizing your work ?

      I genuinely wouldn’t care, we already have code review and I know I am a productive worker Quiet quitters are probably shitting themselves
      - bamboozled 4y ago
        You'd be most likely the most stressed and hurt, because you've worked hard and invested yourself, I think you'd stand more to lose if you got laid off for stupid reasons, such as cost cutting. But anyway, it's good you see yourself as ultra-resilient.

        Yeah maybe it’s a cultural thing because having to justify your value as employee is pretty normal where I work, across all industries
        bamboozled 4y ago
        It’s the same for me but this isn’t the time or way to go about it. First week on the job to boot ?

      It would be irresponsible for Musk not to review code for the last 60 days given the dramatic circumstances. Given the obvious anti-Musk sentiments around the Twitter deal, from outside and inside Twitter. How can you not appreciate that the last 60 days is the most likely time for, what we might describe as questionable or disruptive changes to the code to happen? One would want to be sure if one just spent billions buying that code.

      Yeah sure no problem. I'd be far more annoyed if they came in and removed the coffee machine from the kitchen. (I get to talk about my code? Sweet!)

Article clearly says per employee code written in last 30-60 days

He doesn't know the Twitter employees. Seems reasonable to ask employees you know to give you a technical read on how things stand.

They are not reviewing code, they are reviewing people. And doing a terrible job at that if it really involves code printouts and short interviews. This is likely a fishing expedition to collect data to disguise layoffs as performance firings. He's not interested in accurately tell if they are capable or not, he's likely just trying to gauge who to "obviously" maintain and get rid of the rest since he already stated that in his view 75% of the company is redundant.
