Elon Musk originally said this in an interview somewhere but it stuck with me: "The organizational inefficiencies and structure will manifest themselves in the end product."

We can probably gleam many insights about the people who made the app (how it works, how big the bundle is, how fast/slow etc.). I haven't used the app so I can't make any judgements about the organization behind it.

Nice rephrasing of Conway’s law :)

Its from memory of some old interview. Think he was talking about some aspect of a design flaw in his cars.

I think the point loloquwowndueo was making is that Elon Musk didn't come up with that idea, Melvin Conway did.

It's also an idea older than Conway, presumably, although I don't know for sure.

I guess my wording was poor. I didn't really intend to say that Elon Musk came up with it only that I personally first heard of this concept from him saying it.
