Thanks Mr TheDong, well argued, I am convinced.
Will hard code my Elon credibility score to zero based on this insightful contribution!
BTW - If Elon himself was a software engineer, I detect a logical contradiction. How would we resolve it?
Edit: I just want to know who has credibility and how much, help me understand TheDong.
Elon is furthermore a software engineer (he wrote ALOT of code at zip2 & paypal) so your argument falls flat in that regard.
Of all the people you can hate on in the world, hating on Elon is to me very odd. Tall poppy syndrome I guess...
This isn't Tall Poppy syndrome. This is Sideshow Bob repeatedly walking into rakes and getting smacked in the face.
By the way, I’m not excusing his behavior by saying this, but I’m pretty sure the irreverence is a complete response to the struggles and pain from non-stop attacks from fighting giants in the arena for years. Putting yourself out there, living in the arena, especially to the extent he has, is super hard. Most of us don’t have the courage. If you do, you’re welcome to enter it and try to be a better role model. The world needs it.
In my personal experience, software engineers, when you ask them about technical matters like "does the code do X" or "is there a condition for Y" are generally pretty honest. Programming is a task that requires being able to have structured and literal reasoning, and asking engineers about purely technical details usually triggers that response, even if you can imagine a social motive for lying.
