I think we all invested in him as he's nerdy and chasing moonshots. I bought TSLA stock at IPO and held through all the fail years. Musk enjoys unparalleled fandome and respect in many circles. But of course, Elon thinks it's all

I am an immigrant myself. So I understand the pain of uprooting yourself and moving to another country. I put myself in the shoes of Twitter staff. That ultimatum by Musk of Twitter 2.0 would simply had me quit. As did many engineers. But i

I don't think anyone is staying there by choice now. Most stayed because of visa issues. Some might have stayed because of Musk's wow factor.

Access to education and infrastructure could be the reason for disparity. But real challenge to solve is to have 60% of giant corps coming from Asia, run with proper corporate controls.

Lmao. What about Trump then? Elon doesn't represent anything now that I think of it. How many people from Elon's companies does anyone know of? He has successfully squandered all credit. Guy's the best tool in the world for t

Elon enjoys a massive following for his moonshots. And people have dedicated their life to his vision. Outside of it many investors and customers have supported him to be part of his grand vision. But last week has shown his true colors. He

I think the crux of the situation is that Tesla and Twitter are completely different companies. And Elon seems to be going for Twitter based on his learnings at Tesla. Manufacturing a car at scale that requires well defined components, supp

Tell me you have never worked in a large enterprise without telling me that you haven't. Elon seems completely out of his depth in handling Twitter. And so does many people endorsing him. For them, Twitter is a glorified website.

I am talking about bad managers here who throw around data a lot. This is not a bad take. AI at this stage is less of a doer, more of a predictor based on data. It should replace management glut that many companies face. It will also make t

At this stage I wonder what will Elon found when he takes over Twitter. There seems to be a lot of dubious policies at play.

Most of the low-weak managers rely on data. That's how their affirm their decisions to wider group. AI can totally be a better data predictor and user than humans. If all a manager do (middle or higher) is collect and interpret data, t

It's not too late for either of you. Check IVF. Quality of your sperm goes down with age, IVF can select the better sperm and fertilize with a good egg. Your wife still have plenty of eggs. You can take decisions around surrogacy etc.

My take is that companies hired like crazy during the pandemic and these people will be junior employees who have larger overhead, smaller output. Problem with tech right now is that it 1. Failing to justify valuations that were reached dur

Fair point. Too much managerial bandwidth is a red flag in a tech org.

This sounds like an organizational failure rather than sprint/agile/scrum. It works beautifully when lead in/by tech teams.

There you go. I have done something similar. And place was puffing up with out of college new hires. Everyone getting pat on the back. I stand by my assertion, companies will have to get the old people back unless they are happy to have yea

That's exactly the narrative I want to address. Because I have seen this first hand. When the stocks were booming. Old people left. They didn't took another job. They left. Some cashed out $x millions. Lot of indiscriminate hiring

Unpopular opinion with some truth in it. Many of the SWEs and other product people in these companies left at the peak of pandemic due to burnout, but mostly due to cheap money. Many senior leaders cashed out their stock and went into the s

It's not too far fetched. I have been discriminated with Revolut. With corps it's as simple as who's on the other end of the line. Not very different from TSA singling out person of certain colors. I approached the state to i

I have a close friend, working for Uber since 5-6 years now. I don't think he ever expected company to engage in anything shady. SWEs are higher up than service counter staff but in the game of business they are not far from being expe

But what about the people who don't have social clout? I think for every person like this, there are 100s if not thousands who's money and accounts get locked away.

I have no idea how companies like Stripe and to a great extent Revolut made it to forefront of banking. They are Uber of banking industry. And have done shady things. As the time passes and VC money runs out; these companies will implode
