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

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

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'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

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
