TIL Chick-fil-A has a team of just 6 iOS engineers working on a mobile app that processes nearly 1/3 of their orders ($5b+ in annualized payments volume) 🤯

For those who think the most talented engineers are all still at Meta/Google/NFLX/etc, think again.

1/ Long-haul trucking is one of those industries that everybody relies on, but that few spend much time thinking about. The men and women who crisscross our highway system to deliver indispensable goods are among the unsung heroes of our economy.

this is the magic of the elon companies: engineers armed with the resources to rearrange civilizations are staying sane and building only what matters to the goal. they strike the perfect balance of worshipping the one toy that needs to be built without falling into toy mindset

ASML is the most important company you've never heard of.

@rorynotsorry @0zgurlukcu @MackerSarasa @Noahpinion @alonsosilva If no pass, another go around is I think more likely than not. So more years of instability.
