I think a big part of SpaceX successes are due to Elon letting Gwynn Shotwell manage the company.
Apparently when they first met, she gave him a dressing down and told him a bunch of things he needed to do to be successful. He then tracked her down and hired her to do all the things.
If you (still) work at Twitter and you can code, head to the HQ now

#122Imagine thinking you can judge anything about a developer (especially Senior/Staffs) from screenshots of code. Elon has truly lost the plot.
Of course you can? It's basically asking to see what you consider your best work. If you're earning 100k a year and the most important code you show is how you turned a link colour from light blue to blue -- then your $100,000 a year job has now become questionable. It's hardly losing the plot to ask someone "What have you achieved and what do you think your best work is?"

#124I can barely believe this man started a spaceflight company. He must have had some incredibly subordinates to pull that off; not only did they have to deal with him, but they also had to bootstrap spaceflight.
I'm seriously wondering if this is drug related. I dont think he was always this erratic.

That's the kind of person who makes spacex successful.

#126Elon has this bizarre conspiracy in his head where he thinks software engineers don't do anything until he realizes they do everything. Btw, a dev build is in prod right now. Or someone forgot to minimize the JS. Tons of import map issues.
Is it really that bizarre of a conspiracy? If you browse Blind for a day you kind of lose the faith in software engineering as a profession. People proud for making $400k while working 5 hours a week.

If someone had 10 people cleaning a small apartment every day, you'd question what were they actually doing. That wouldn't make sense.

Lots of jobs work precisely like that. If you want to argue whether the people who do them should get US$100k/yr, that's a different question.
