Isn't that just coding for any big project is? Like some games I like will have code commented out like //Don't touch this, I don't know why it works
This reads like he's never seen code before and is trying to sound important

I think programmers copy pasting code they may not know exactly how it works isn't quite on the same level as Fred Flintstone here having an epiphany while trying to understand the basics of server architecture.
Forget code, he never worked on anything before and is trying to sound important lol.
Yeah there are functions with names like TouchThisAndIWillChopYourHandsOff
Coding is one of the few endeavors where we can make something so complicated no individual can fully understand it, it's great.
Lol they have no backups now, the next drive failure will remove tweets
Oh my god he's actually the dumbest motherfucker. How did people believe this guy actually participated in developing anything.
Musk tried to move PayPal servers from Linux to windows server before getting fired lmao.
Imagine trying to control PayPal servers with convoluted PowerShell commands and the broken messes that the the MMC template windows
Powershell didn't exist yet, the old fashioned windows way was to use vbscript I think. Which really sucks because Microsoft did not document vbscript well at all, doing anything with it was always browsing through old forum threads. Idk how the generation of it people before mine dealt with windows, vbscript must've been maintained by oral tradition at that point
Marketing and talking confidently. You can convince anybody that you're hot shit that people can't get enough of with the right attitude and marketing team behind you.
Stupid engineers building in automated redundancy. Such waste! Let's just pull out one thing at a time until it breaks. This is good business. Imagine the server savings!
Twitter's research department were at the cutting edge of caching, using entirely new non-slab-based memcache clones and other cool shit in rust that would have meant you could turn those servers off as a result of good engineering. Instead, Musk is just switching off expensive stuff because he's a complete dunce.
the same management style as a monkey trashing the building
That's the badger
Edit: more info on this video , it's where I learned about all of this stuff initially before I read the paper
Haha sorry, it was like 3am and I have food poisoning so I slipped into my local dialect
A blanket is but a series of strings, bound together in an interconnected web. Much like the interwebs we post on today.
eloin knows a thing or two about dumping on a damn website if you ask me!
People make fun of that statement but IIRC his analogy was about data throughput and pretty much spot on.
blanket sounds like a hilarious name for some kind of interwoven 2d/3d linked list data structure.
_____ is a fractal of Rube Goldberg machines
Is this from a pickup techniques for bazinga brains book?
is there enough right wing grift money to cover the staggering losses he's about to incur?
It's actually pretty crazy how the release of this movie coincided with Musk's downfall, considering it looks like the movie was made during the deep pandemic
