Judging by the many "issues" already, it might have been a bad idea to release on a friday, though.

This is 100% not their working copy.

Well yes, but I am pretty sure, elon envisoned warm welcome by the OS community and help for free and now that is off to a bad start.

I doubt he thought he'd get any help for free, given I don't think you can run this code there isn't a meaningful way to contribute.

It's just about transparency or PR, take your pick.

He literally tweeted:

"No doubt, many embarrassing issues will be discovered, but we will fix them fast!"

People noticing stuff is free work but it’s still different than getting PRs and actual solutions like a real OSS project. And that’s fine, people are doing it because they care or like the attention or outrage and all the other personal/social motivations.

"given I don't think you can run this code there isn't a meaningful way to contribute."

Hm, there is lots of code released, I would think that some of it, can be run and might be forked and useful in other context, but mainly it is a PR move, sure.

I'm not connecting the dots. Why is it bad to release on Friday?

It’s not like they are going to release an emergency patch fix. This was a one way street.

Friday is traditionally end of the week and many people stressed out, tired, frustrated about the week and so on. So fridays the conversations are less nice online I noticed. So apparently many people used their friday frustration to blow off steam by spamming the github page with "issues" like, "rewrite everything in rust", "rewrite everything in scratch" ,... and while I was checking, many people were participating in this.
