I want to believe this but I can't find a source, can you share where you've read this?

I suspect it's sarcasm: > PayPal had an automatic github-algorithm [...] before they managed to coup him as CEO Musk stepped down as CEO of PayPal in 2000, predating not just Github, but git itself by 5 years.

Musk has never been CEO of PayPal

Something like this might actually be useful for the all-too-common productive procrastination breaks. Stuck on a hard problem? Better clean my desk. Waiting for a build? Better clean my files. Lacking momentum? Better check LinkedIn (it’s professional so it’s okay). I wonder which type of “break” kills more productivity, “fun” distraction or “productive” distraction. Anyone else?

Probably "productive" distractions, since you can do them a lot more before feeling bad and going back to work. Especially if you can silently get into the "fun" territory. I've actually had this with HN in the last days; I've ditched Reddit for HN because it contained a lot more worthwile content and valuable discussions [0], but with the Twitter shitshow I've come to enjoy a lot of snarky, unproductive discussions…

"oh I need to structurally modify these 20 lines, might as well craft a regex to do it"

30 minutes later... well got to keep my regex skills up to date else i'll lose them

I know you are joking but Tesla had an entire team devoted to making sure Elon does not fuck up important things. I believe it is well documented that critical personnel were hidden when he was visiting the factories to avoid getting them rage-fired

It’s a shitpost, which really doesn’t belong on HN.

a bit meta, but it feels like since musk bought twitter, there have been too many shitposts/unfounded rumors about him that do not belong here.

Fun is occasionally permitted on HN. This thread is about a joke add-on in the first place, you know.

I love how it looks that who wrote this got inspired more and more while writing this.

He starts with things that you say: Wow, amazing, but totally logical.

The he continues with things that you say: Wow, no waaay, Musk is really that crazy?

And by the end (the slave/master) you realize it's sarcasm.

But hilarious!

I love that Slack is the first icon on the list :D it's kind of true though, It's probably the worst offender.

Worst offender as in making you the most productive? I'm pretty sure that's not the case. I'm not even sure it qualifies to be on the list. If anything it's a distraction making you less productive.

I agree. I somehow inverted the purpose of this plugin in my head. Feels weird to be upvoted because people disagree with you.
