Not always. I'm finding that entire paradigm-changes are occuring. Take JS front-end libraries, vs. back end code. ... and don't even get me started on AI.
I doubt it but also not surprised if they made selective re-hires. They still have more bad employees to get rid of.
I agree it’s possible that some managers may have recommended employees for lay-off that maybe should not have been on the list. I suspect a employee that kept their head down, did their job, and didn’t join the “conservative are evil” complaining sessions on Monday mornings may have been “mistakenly” added to the lay-off list.
AI=If, then, else? Lol.
I don’t see why it would take thousands of people to run a database company.
I'd work for them but Elon doesn't believe in remote work, and I work 100% remote at this time.
Remote working takes practice, and I now am quite good at it. I produce more than the on-site people.
Yeah this is out of my league.
I just remember the vehicle software was always struggling to fit into the available capacity on board.
I do know Musk did his own MRP system for the factories, maybe that’s the folks he sent.
I thought he was planning on having Tesla guys to come in to rewrite Twitter code.My thought on that idea was, they must not be needed at Tesla.
> I can code in one line what it might take a junior or midlevel developer 10+ lines to accomplish.
Side effects, readability? Code should be blindingly obvious to read and understand.
I'm a certified scrum master, but that doesn't take away from being a project lead and primary contributor to the code base. It's a one-of-many-hats responsibility. On other projects, I've been charged with building the "golden master" VM image and doing a full STIG lockdown for DSS inspection prior to IATO. There is no reason to be pigeon-holed with a narrow set of skills. I'm as comfortable writing real-time UNIX kernel communications code and being a principal investigator tracking budget burn rates and interacting with my customer. Meeting the needs of my customer and management matters.
When it takes thousands is when you are meeting a complicated business need with software, and you need to keep infrastructure, documentation, security, and regulatory standards up.
Even more if you are at risk of being audited by an outside firm.
That can be an issue.
See, you get it. Many people those outside a company call ‘managers’ , are not, and are in fact important people in the modern development model.
He hasn’t really laid a lot off. He said stay home with pay I think for 60 days? And abide by the company rules.
I figured some problems arose that someone said oh that’s John’s job... He’s getting laid off... Well call him back in.
I worked with Qualcomm and Ford engineers at the Wingcast startup. The effort put into economy of code space and execution efficiency at Qualcomm was impressive. I built the simulators for the 5 target vehicles and interfaced to the prototype telematics unit to allow field testing of multiple vendor base stations. What I had on my desktop was a version of the enterprise scaled to handle about 10 concurrent customers on two desktop PCs. The vehicle buses for Ford (MCP/SCP) and Infiniti were different. I received the Infiniti specs last, yet had them running before the engineers arrived. They were impressed to try out the car electronics before even the very first prototypes were built at Infiniti.
Musk is looking like he doesn’t know what he’s doing.
totally agree, i’m very lazy, i prefer compact code, i admit i don’t usually put *comment* in the code since i expect my co-workers to know just by looking at it.
They should return as contractors and charge 59% to 100% more
Well different systems yes.
Tesla is written in C.
Twitter seems to be built in more Object oriented, built in C++, java and scala
Losing $4 million/day and Musk bought it anyway at the original price?
I’ve stated that there was some ulterior motive here all along; now we shall see what that might be...
