I'm not sure why, but the sheer incompetence makes me even more angry. Sure, they are running roughshod across important institutions, ignorantly tearing everything apart, but the fact they are so poor at it is infuriating. There's a million competent devs in the world, but Elon chose amateur fanboys.
If you're going to take apart democracy, have some goddamn professional pride.
- diggan 2y agoIt's probably pretty obvious to you too, but spelling it out just in case it isn't as clear to everyone: These people are not chosen based on their skill or experience, but most likely by loyalty or some other similar metric. It's literally the fascist playbook updated for modern times, for when you want to dismantle institutions.
- SketchySeaBeast 2y agoThe only solace I can find is that when the day comes to fight back their poorly constructed edifices will crumble at the first push. Unfortunately they'll have built theirs on the ruins of democracy and we'll just be adding to the rubble.

- jeltz 2y agoIf Elon had selected a team of actual competent devs he would need to worry about them saying no to his idiotic ideas. These people were chosen because they were spineless yes-men and workaholics, not because they were competent. Plus most competent devs would not want to get into this mess in the first place.
- SketchySeaBeast 2y agoYeah, I'm sure that was it. He didn't want to hear that it would take a year of combing the code-base before we'd be willing to make changes.
- jeltz 2y agoYeah, I am pretty sure that is it. Most of us have worked with a guy like Musk, someone who hates hearing that doing things the right way actually takes time.
