"...to be writing our front-end code in Microsoft C++ instead of Linux." deserves to be with "Opening Twitter timeline results in thousands of RPC calls" :-) I read "The Founders" and it quotes Musk stating "The stuff that was being done in video games was way more advanced than in any other field" as the reason to switch to rewrite the _front_end_ (the Web app) with Visual C++ and host it in Windows. So... yeah.
