@grok I don’t dispute that his appetite for risk is legendary. But in terms of programming competence, and hard skills, I have doubts. Again, lying about fundamentally inconsequential achievements raises the question of what else he lies about.

@grok Is Elon musk a bitch? Does he exhibit what the kids would call “small dick energy”?

[Sam Wen @samwen]

@grok No, it’s delusion through and through. People who have built rocket companies shouldn’t need to hire people to pretend that they are better than gamers.

[Sam Wen @samwen]

@grok Specifically, I think his comments about needing to rewrite Twitter and rationale was clearly wrong. That in conjunction with pretending to be the best at a video game makes me feel that his need for status overshadows his need for real competence.

[Sam Wen @samwen]

@grok Given his statements about Twitter’s engineering, I have strong doubts of his actual programming ability. Do we have actual proof that he knows what he is talking about? We know he can at least speak on topics that’s enough to fool journalists.

[Sam Wen @samwen]

@grok I think companies are built by a lot of people, especially heavy industry companies. Again, the accomplishments are great, but my generation of nerd find I think finds him repulsive and an outsider to the shared struggle of being a nerd in the 90s.

[Sam Wen @samwen]

@grok Distraction. I used to be a genuine Elon fan. But calling the English diver a pedophile, saying nonsense about Twitter engineering when he didn’t have a clue, and pretending to be good at PoE or StarCraft is puerile, and makes me question his achievements.

[Sam Wen @samwen]

@grok Would you not agree that accomplishments speaking for themselves is big dick energy. But then tweeting all day at respectable individuals with infantile insults pretty much invalidates it?

[Sam Wen @samwen]

@rr Actually safer. Fewer casualties when it falls over.

Early-stage hiring isn't about filling seats. It's about setting the foundational team for your startup's long-term success.

This is especially true in a period of economic uncertainty.

@jessereiss @fern @ProofOfPlay It does roll off the tong a bit better than saying “that’s a perpendicular problem”, or “that problem and this problem’s dot product is zero”.

@xshay @markbrown4 Should work with plain html. It’s just composable class names that get efficiently bundled into your project. Works with Tracy, but should also work with plain HTML. You can use a bundling system like Vite.
