Ditto. I respect Musk as a skilled and successful engineering manager, but remain amazed by how much credit he's given for things that are clearly the product of some luck and a hugely talented team. I think a mark of a good manager is someone who will go out of their way to correctly credit their team. Likewise, Wolfram has published some interesting papers on CA and Mathematica is great for it's problem domains, but ever since NKS I think he's forgotten the maxim cautioning to not get high on one's own supply. For those who haven't seen it yet, this letter from Richard Feynman to Wolfram might be interesting: http://www.lettersofnote.com/2010/06/you-dont-understand-ordinary-people.html http://www.lettersofnote.com/2010/06/you-dont-understand-ord...
