He talked about electric cars. I don't know anything about cars, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.
Then he talked about rockets. I don't know anything about rockets, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.
Now he talks about software. I happen to know a lot about software & Elon Musk is saying the stupidest shit I've ever heard anyone say, so when people say he's a genius I figure I should stay the hell away from his cars and rockets.
Elon read a blog from 10 years ago where someone claimed to write Twitter in a weekend as a side project, and got all excited that he could rewrite Twitter quickly.
@reneestephen @nobodyzhome @rodhilton Twitter had to optimize and prioritize network routing between its DCs in order to scale properly. That's the kind of problems such implementation would have to solve at the grunt level.
To get it done right takes time, money and quality engineers.
Elon thinks he can do it with twenty sleep-deprived "10X Hardcore 2.0 SWEs" in 6 months on a shoestring budget... while shutting down several DCs in January.
@hu_logic Worse, the system is currently still running because of those engineers and he is slapping himself on the back for it not failing outright when they left... as if they were literally running on little hamster wheels to route the packets themselves or something. Idk, the guy is a deeply stupid grifter.
I'm mad about him destroying a community and some cool tech because he is so deeply insecure.
A lot of us screamed this for a decade+, and now it's too late.
@nobodyzhome @rodhilton
@reneestephen @nobodyzhome @rodhilton Imagine you're part of 10X Hardcore 2.0 skeleton crew and have been troubleshooting Sev1 production issue for a week. As a result, you haven't had any time to write any "code" so Elon fired you...
Then, it turns out that Sev1 was caused by Elon randomly unplugging shit in the DC...
@hu_logic @reneestephen @nobodyzhome @rodhilton
Lmao, this reminds me of when I was working at a place that had a data center with a storage farm. The director was taking some people on a tour, there were two tour groups, a morning and an afternoon one.
To demonstrate the fault tolerance he showed the group that he could just pull a hard drive and things would keep humming along. He plugged it back in and it started recovery.
@hu_logic @reneestephen @nobodyzhome @rodhilton
Did the same thing for the afternoon group, only it was the same node and it was still recovering and didn't have enough redundancy left, so it took down the whole storage cluster for a while.
@flabberghaster we all wait for that not to happen with twitter..
That amount of new users
is a little bit to much for one day. 😇
Musk is doing a nice job with every week, every fortnight creating a new wave..
