Good lord. I can't imagine bragging, taking a job, then immediately asking other people how to do it.

You can't imagine being a manager?

Hotz is an intern not a manager. That's why people are surprised by the audacity of the post.

I mean if we all want to be realistic, he's neither an intern nor a manager nor a real employee.

He's a prominent person in the industry who got given an ambiguous role in the company by tweeting the CEO. I doubt there's much strict definitions towards roles and responsibilities in the company right now, other than to try and satisfy Musk.

An undergrad spending a summer at Twitter is an intern. Hotz is not an intern.

This. What a public announcement of incompetence.

It happens a lot in software, especially in the last half decade or so.
