Decision to go into bitcoin was smart and also decision to back off was smart. Musk is the only person who can do or say two contradictory things and both are smart. He really is a genius

Not exactly lynching, not exactly calling, not exactly women, not exactly worthless. Likely to be abusive or hostile towards women because he did what? Any cases from the past? Or is the book title 'Mein Kampf'?

Many years ago a big tech company opened a new office in my city and started recruiting developers at my university. They wanted to be fair and treat both sexes equally so they decided on male/female parity (at least 30% women). But on

Nobody forces them to work, and 'known mysogynist' is just a personal attack without merit. What actions did he take against women in general or any woman in particular to be called a misogynist? Remember, if it's only your

Well I'm not interested in working with people who feel entitled to targeting someone and mobbing to destroy them based on opinions and personal beliefs. This is illegal activity imho

Yep someone has exchanged his Muskcoin into a big pile of real money. Not inrerested obviously in reverse direction of exchange

Since when personal feelings and opinions should be prosecuted? And who is so entitled to give themselves such right?

Skilled programmer has the proficiency and courage to attack the problem and win. There's some boldness coming from knowledge and experience, and i like people showing that. On the other hand an unskilled person will not be able to und

Most of unskilled programmers i met did not become much better after years. They kinda reached their max and stayed there or got into management. So I wouldn't count on willingness to learn, the capability is the key

You can be humble only when you're competent and you know it. Then you can make a choice. If you barely have the skill to somehow put stuff together so it kinda works then there's no place for such subtleties. So I'd rather h

The situation gets worse every year with multitude new commanline utilities and scripts being created as part of new frameworks, languages and tools. And then everything gets mixed together to form some unstable, ever changing, inconsistent

It is the OS from the past and still most people use it on their computers. Because they are still doing things from the desktop. And I suppose they're happy not having to adapt to technology du jour again and again.

I kinda like Windows server, mostly for the stability - both of the runtime and of functionality. Compared to Linux it requires less attention, i can concentrate more on software and less on the system: after two years of not touching i can

I've been re-implementing Remedy functionality for a telecom operator around year 2000. They decided to go with custom software because Remedy was horrible. I wonder what kind of horribility it is now, 20 years later. And we still have

Yes, if someone can enlighten me - what is so great about this software, by looking at their product's growth and popularity i was expecting something extraordinary. Then i had to use it and it was pretty boring, unintuitive, unsophist

That's true i haven't seen him give credit to anyone but himself. We can agree here that he's a master of self promotion.

Yep feels forced like hell, no breathing room. Isn't it enough to be a team of two without holding hands all the time?

by rasputnik6502 5y ago
We have some uninformed judgment here, don't you think? Btw I have heard enough of Musk talk to know what's on the show. Don't need to listen to it anymore.

by rasputnik6502 5y ago
> is just posturing to trick the underlings to over-work? This. There's nothing bad in wanting to do a great job but most often you're not the one to benefit from that. Especially software devs, some of them can work miracles a

I don't judge, just state the fact that he will not let any of his employees take even smallest piece of the show. Everything is about Elon Musk and only him, no one else is allowed to speak or show any achievement - anonymous bunch of

>Musk is quick to give credit to his employees to whom, for example? And it's true i dont listen to his talks, maybe i missed important details.

by rasputnik6502 5y ago
There are, but you need to remove personal cult from the filter. Musk did not design the rockets or come up with the idea of electric car - he cleverly positions himself as the technology guru running whole factories with his own hands but

similar in Poland - general shortage of everything, corruption. Dont know the details of how it was with appartments but for sure you had to wait long (like 10 years), there was never enough appartments available and the system of distribut

Many people ride on the backs of others who are too busy doing the work. And a good programmer can carry quite a crowd without noticing. But if you have noticed already maybe you need to move to another company

Yep I think it's about control. Punching everyone around while playing a helpless victim. You read someone accusing coworkers of racism and sexism, whole company of being evil and pathological and you see the 'victim' causing

I see some points but i'm getting tired of the bashing Basecamp gets. We can clearly see where it went wrong - i mean, at some size of the business it doesnt look good if employees make fun of customer names internally. But come on, i

it took me many many years to finally see that the loudest victims i have dealt with were (and are) actually the worst abusers. They are just giving themself the excuse to treat everyone like shit and manipulate people, and there's no

Ok, makes sense - if there really is some life form on Mars then it's rather a humble mushroom than a xenomorph.

by rasputnik6502 5y ago
mushrooms feed on organic matter so plants would have to be there first. And even with lots of food and water they dont grow several meters a day.
