I agree with the sentiment that Elon Musk is totally overrated and borderline a scammer. I'm 100% with you on that.
That being said... if he manages to run twitter with 20% of the people in a sustainable way that makes a lot of people look bad (including the devs).
- eternalban 4y agoThese are two entirely different matters. There is no question that Twitter, or Google, or IBM, or Microsoft, or ..., have some dead weight. The issue is that the silly money giant corps destroy the sensible norms for the rest of us innocents who never touched that crappy VC money. First they utterly fucked (can we say fuck on hn?) the interview process for all of us. Remember that? Now I guarantee you, every little man/woman "boss" out there is gonna follow 'the utterly spoiled greek god' and enforce the new 'one week job security window' for the rest of us who weren't being "spoiled" because we never deigned to work for these crappy companies! "Are you in?" claims the loudly announced new 'greek god' hire of Elon the Terrible. Remember kids, you've heard all this before .. p.s. every thing these megalomaniacs have touched has screwed something major in society. Surveillance capitalism; destroying the political discourse; etc. Every single one of these disasters is 100% the responsibility of these supremely self-satisfied "gods" like Elon. Not us developers. When are they going to face the "hard core" judgment?
