Gregory's Server@hu_logic @nparikh @reneestephen @nobodyzhome @rodhilton Yeah apparently the self-proclaimed “smartest person in the world” has never heard of redundancy or failover clusters.

@nparikh @MGoCoder @reneestephen @nobodyzhome @rodhilton Somebody tried to explain "systems integration" to Elon. That person has been fired.  @MGoCoder I mean, where would he have? For real making cars is all low-latency on-prem automation and MechEng, a lot of factories are deeply bad at BI data and observability, even newer ones. Same with rocketry. He also hasn't had people at Twitter whose job it was to explain this shit to him and steer him away from the worst ideas (or just ignore him/lie to him and do what should be done despite him), like in his other companies.  @reneestephen @MGoCoder @hu_logic @nparikh @nobodyzhome @rodhilton I've seen the stories about how at Tesla and SpaceX (and, presumably, Neuralink), they have a thick layer of bureaucracy to manage him specifically. Full self-driving aside, his main two companies manage because he's not doing the engineering, and just knows a bit of the jargon. Twitter, he's actually trying to do the work and showing off he doesn't know how. |
@MGoCoder @hu_logic @reneestephen @nobodyzhome @rodhilton Somehow he also doesn’t connect it to why it can feel like a bunch of Rube Goldberg machines. It’s like Lewis Black’s bit on “if it weren’t for my horse” — if you spend too much time thinking about it you’ll get an aneurysm.
