Spend some time to think about that sentence. The diagnosis is not a "scapegoat", it's literally an explanation for the symptoms.

Why should they have to try to "escape" the diagnosis?

Of course, but how do you automate this? Using Watchtower? Setup instructions never address this aspect. I get the impression that there’s no standard way to auto-update, and most people only update manually?
Hot water is more efficient - heating something to 500F just to then use it to heat air to 70, or a shower to 130 is thermostatically not favorable (the bigger the difference in temperature the less energy is transferred). It's better to heat water to 180 and pump that - the initial transfer of heat from the flame is much more efficient.

Releasing the steam would be a huge waste - but of energy, not of water. The water is quite minimal.
They have dramatically different personalities in the womb as well, but only the birth mother can spot the difference late in the pregnancy. Examples: Same parents poking the belly with their finger where they feel a limb pushing from within. One baby pushes back. Another baby pulls back and hides the limb. A third one moved around but didn’t pull back. Those personalities very much persisted as they grow. The push backer has great executive thinking now and always insists on their choice for everything. The pulling baby is a great learner - listens well and absorbs prods for new information like a sponge. The third one is still young but loves to explore and catch things. You couldn’t guess the gender by any of that.

A child is really an incredible genetic gamble. It’s like someone grabs legos from multiple people’s genetics, spills an even portion of random pieces from each and builds a new person. If the baby has your looks it can have the other parent’s characteristics and your grandmother’s personality. 1/4 of pregnancies have issues as well - during conception, delivery, genetics. It’s all about how

"Shadows of the Apts" series is one of my favorite. The story is so nicely constructed that you sometimes forgot the world building, even though it impacts on the characters' personalities. I've also the Expert System books, and it was somewhat disturbing in their explorations. Most of his books I've read seems to be premised on how easily man experiments can go wrong.
We have several criteria that we look at, including impact on the team and outside the team, expertise, etc, which includes feedback from peers. But after a few years (been here over 6), with the output of that process and correlating to the statistics I came to the conclusion it was significant enough to casually look at. I never found an outlier in the direction of very little PRs but also very good impact on the team/company. For the performance criteria that affects promotions etc we don't actually look at it, this is something I do because I like to see my own statistics and after a while you remember who is usually where in the sorted list.
I have seen it, but it really depends on the type of problems being solved and the overall team.

The most valuable team member generally fills in for whatever the team struggles with. Sometimes that’s making thousands of minor UI changes, other times it’s spending months writing 4kb of highly optimized code to avoid spending 10’s of millions replacing existing hardware.

The difficult bit when looking for people who will adjust to the needs of a team is by definition they aren’t working on the same things in different environments.

And how long exactly did that take? I'm going to cast doubt on your story because in my experience people that often claim to understand how a codebase works in a quick amount of time tend to be full of it and end up blowing things up when they try to change or modify things.

The codebase often isn't the issue, it's the use cases and the reasons why it evolved into the form it did.
I like QR code if the menu is responsive and allow ordering directly. No matter high end mid end or low end, I just want to get my food quick and check out quick. Always having to find and speak to a waiter is a big problem for me.

I believe you’re missing the point. Random code reviews performed by people in a whole different sector aren’t the best way to find out “what’s going on”.

That's shifting the goalposts quite a bit. You're looking for process, you are also asking for pointers from the people working on the project. Throwing out numbers like 500kloc is completely unnecessary as you're not going to look at them unless in cases where you're spotchecking (and you won't know where to look without someone pointing it out to you)

He never stated any technical reasons at all - neither then, nor a week later, nor since. He was asked very specifically, by people who are extremely competent, on a technical list:

"Can you be specific about what is wrong?"

"I don't like it" isn't good technical reasoning.

It doesn’t work that way. Period.

Musk’s job as CEO is to work in the best interests of the company. Using the company's resources to buy/build a completely unrelated entity for his personal gain is most definitely not ok.

If he wanted to do what you’re saying (enrich Tesla with those features), Tesla should be buying Twitter. The scenario you're presenting, by the way, is exactly how Facebook/Meta acquired Instagram. However Facebook acquired Instagram, not Zuckerberg personally.
You know what else is below most CEOs? Tweeting poop emojis when given a rundown on why his arguments are specious.

Elon is a mixed bag. He’s reminds me of a living Steve Jobs, in a way. People sometimes forget he’s human like the rest of us.
And if you indeed make "more lines!" the guiding metric for developer performance, you're setting yourself up for a world of pain because they will sure as hell find out and start gaming the metric. This will lead to a feedback loop of rising expenses and tech debt.
Counterpoint: what other CEO would be involved in low level stuff like

None, because that's not the role of the CEO.

I never said it was the best way, but it may be the most viable option. And you dont have Tesla engineers personally go through the code, you have them sit down with twitter engineers and have them walk through how it works. Its probably a general understanding exercise.
The tooling just isn't there, though, especially if you want to do something like signing. I want to have my whole merge/pull request history in one subtree, while having the 1st subtree maintain a clear linear history with MR/PR Numbers in each merge commit, and also have that one be signed by the committer. It's easy to represent. It's a little harder to get the forges to do it right.

Why are you assuming I am an Elon Musk supporter, or that I even like him? And it's fine if you don't like him; it's fine for anyone to not like him.

What I am commenting on is the reactionary attacks frequently made in this forum against Musk's business efforts, in this case his taking over of Twitter, with many ppl forecasting doom, despite his business success already across a wide range of domains. An objective observer would say that given his track record (truly extraordinary and historic in the case of SpaceX), he's probably got a decent chance of making a success of this twitter acquisition too. A decent chance, note, I'm not saying his success is guaranteed. (And obviously the way he pursued the acquisition of twitter showed impulsivity and some lack of strategic planning; that criticism is fine.)

There's a number of comments in this thread suggesting that Musk only surrounds himself with 'yes men'. I, like others, have noticed how he does favour a cohort of sycophants on twitter, so perhaps there is some truth in this direction. But it's a nonsense to think he would fully do this in business and succeed with extraordinarily difficult technological challenges like developing a re-usable rocket. This point was made in one of the few rebuttals to this nonsense in this thread:

> I guarantee Elon is surrounded by yes-men.

>> That's not how you build a spaceship.

So, to repeat, intelligent criticism of Musk's business decisions is fine; personal dislike towards him is fine (although I would suggest that people take care of how much they are being influenced by the highly hostile presentation of him in the corporate press). What is not fine is reactionary, frankly idiotic attacks on him, which is what we frequently and not at all usefully see in so many HN threads. And why these attacks? Again, I would suggest that it's because Elon has quite frequently stood up to Silicon Valley power or more specifically its celebrated causes (deplatforming for 'hate speech', work from home, lockdowns, 'pronouns', etc) and that is greatly resented.
To your point, can’t they just poke around the recent activity across all of twitters repos? Surely these brilliant Tesla engineers can figure that out.
given how many people twitter employs and how many features actually get shipped at twitter, I'd say scope-down isn't that terrible of an idea
> Was it lucky that he happened to start what became PayPal with some others?

Yes, it was luck. You could say it was 95% luck, because of course the product has to exist to get lucky so it's not entirely luck. If you made a copy of PayPal tomorrow, would you be rich? What if 100 people did? A thousand? You will misattribute this to idea that there must have been _something_ special about PayPal, but the reality is it was luck.

> Was it lucky that he took on an Electric car company and turned it into what it is today?

This one has less to do with luck, because Elon is already very,very rich by the time he is working with Tesla, same thing for SpaceX. However, remember that prior example about your starting up a copy of PayPal? Tesla is not the only electronic car company, and I would personally never recommend someone buy a Tesla, there are simply better electric cars.

So at this point, it is, in my opinion, hero worship, marketing, and giant coffers.

The subject is born and told they are “gender A”, rather than the alternative: “gender B”.

They observe that in the world around them (media, etc.), “gender A” implies X, Y, and Z traits, and “gender B” implies W, R, and T traits.

The subject does not feel they exhibit exclusively X Y and Z traits nor exclusively W R and T traits, but rather some mixture of the two.

The subject then has two options. Reject the worldview claiming A=>XYZ B=>WRT, in flavor of a more dynamic classification scheme; or introduce a new category, C, which maps to their experienced subset of XYZWRT.

I’ve seen no evidence to support one approach being more valid than the other.
Maybe so.

This should instead be labeled "the restaurant industry's worst implementation".

Just last night we were trying to order from a restaurant that uses a service called qrfy.com for their menu.

I assume from the URL that this service specializes in this. Despite that the UI is... poor.

The font is too small (probably fine for the 20 something designer that built it). That's not a biggy, but then someone decided to disable pinch zoom.

Being techy, I can show the others how to work around that by doing a screen shot, then looking at the result in the gallery, where zooming does work. That's a crap experience though, because I can only see one page at a time. I just want to browse a menu! And I need to do tech support to show others how to do Android screen grab (gorilla swipe from right to left).

All so very fucking ridiculous for something that could do easily be so much better.
Twitter's core operation is running a massively distributed database, as I understand it, where concurrency issues are pretty important to get right. See Data-Intensive Applications (2017), Part II: Distributed Systems (Replication, Partitioning, Transactions, etc.) for an overview.

Just guessing, you'd think Starlink would be more experienced in that area than either Tesla or SpaceX? I suppose there are things like remote software updates and internal working databases to manage at SpaceX and Tesla, but it seems managing satellite traffic is a closer match.

Who knows, they might be, I really don't trust WaPo reporting anymore.
Who has a better notification / messaging system at scale, that isn’t already a phone maker? I suspect the Tesla phone team would be thrilled to review that code.
I wonder if it would be legal for Elon to secretly boost his own tweets. And more broadly, uprank posts that support him and downrank those that disagree.

I think people are looking at this the wrong way. It's not so much about the code as it is about establishing an authority. Musk takeover is often regarded as banditry and I wouldn't be surprised if the employees didn't take him seriously in the beginning. This is his way of saying, "I don't trust you, I don't know what you have been up to but things are going to be different so better get used to it."

Using Tesla engineers is just to get everyone talking. I don't think they can get a clear picture by looking at last 30 days of code but they can use this as reason to lay a lot of people off. Not that Musk needs reasons, obviously.

In my mind I think Twitter is going to go on a very, very different direction than we all expect. You have to understand that Musk isn't after the big dollar here but rather he is experimenting which has a lot of chances to fail. Twitter could become extraordinary or it could become utter trash, we'll have to wait and see. Personally, I am quite excited to see where this goes.

Have two. They did nothing but cry, eat, sleep, and shit for the first six weeks. After that they’re a little more aware of the world and perhaps developing something that will become a personality pretty soon, maybe by month two or three.

I won’t definitively state newborns don’t have personalities, but my unscientific hunch is sleep-deprived parents are simply projecting and seeing what isn’t really there.

I love both my children, but for the first six weeks they are simply base creatures, outwardly.
My experience in an org that introduced SAFe during my time there, was that it was actually a misguided bottom-up introduction. A couple teams went agile and found it really effective then thought "if it was this effective for 1 team just imagine if we scaled it up to everyone!". Spoiler: I will likely never work for another SAFe org again.
I believe the stock still exists (still has an active ticker/cusip) but trade volume is at 0. At some point it will be delisted and shareholders will just get cash. I assume grant vesting is still meaningful until that point.

Honestly doesn't surprise me. Our baby kicked like crazy in the womb, reacted to stimuli like music and poking and was very active.

He was born early after my partner's water broke when she wasn't in labour (doctor said likely from our overactive baby puncturing the placenta) and had a lot of attitude from day 1. Kicked a lot, couldn't be swaddled, was super active and even liked the same music (we went to see a symphony before he was born and there was a particularly recognizable track, even now he likes that same track while crying or screaming when he hears other kinds of music). Even now at 3 months he's super active and hitting all the developmental milestones early (and kicks a lot lol).
