Honestly, a light fluff piece without any real insights or actual content.
SpaceX doesn’t value their software engineers enough. They are paid lower than top-market salaries and then put through the grinder. This is well known in the industry. Most people leave at the 5 year mark when the vesting cliff is over, if they aren’t stack-ranked out before that. Lovely work environment.
Also, when you see the mission control room in Hawthorne, during a live webcast, there are several rows of engineers overseeing the mission and only 2-3 of those are for software.
Software is for sure an important part of the picture but the bytes don’t put themselves into orbit.
Also, I resent the “nerd” name-calling.
