In many ways Musk represents what is usually the HN ideal: former software engineer, driven and ambitious, nerdy, past successful companies under his belt…
But because he’s doing something seen as political a bunch of nobody HN anons feel compelled to say he knows nothing about running a tech company. Amazing what politics can do to the mind.
- kweingar 4y agoIt’s less politics and more his management style. I do not admire bosses who force their reports to work nights and weekends because of some wild, off-the-cuff promise that now needs to be fulfilled instantly. I do not admire bosses who tell their engineers to print out their commits on paper so their performance can be measured by LLOC. I have posted about this a lot recently because I am worried that other tech leaders will take this to heart and treat their employees the same way.
