    Why does the Loud warning trigger on my Watch when I dry my hands at a dryer in a bathroom?
    Didn't a software engineer envision this happening?  Especially the one who came up with the hand-washing timer.

    I just want to say that all of this publicity with Musks management style is going to hurt workers in the future. Especially if he’s successful. This is how he runs his very successful companies 
    Which successful companies are you referring to? SpaceX and Boring both lose money. Tesla is solvent due to a government incentive program and has yet to be profitable in its own right. 

    Why is it that Elon Stans know the least about him?
    Indeed.  No one buys an electric vehicle because it will save money and work better than ICE cars, they are bought due to govt agenda.

    Oh yeah this’ll work so well. Because programming self driving cars and a social media site are almost the same thing. /s
    Tell me you don't know how to code without telling me.
    Exactly.  

    In my career I’ve worked on mini computers doing inventory and other similar software, on Macs doing word processing, and on Macs doing shipping apps as well as a limited amount of leisure games (developing not playing).  I’ve also created classified app systems for the web and done a lot of other web type programming.  And for the last 10 years have been mostly doing mobile app development including payments, messaging, and many other genres, both on contract and as a FT employee. 

    The basics of software engineering are not domain specific.  
    It can't be said enough that if you are a real software engineer, you are thrown into all sorts of situations to try to make computers do something that the client wants done.

    And that requires listening to the client.  Apple has exceeded in this where other computer/operating system companies have failed.

    Those who engineered Tesla code have brains that think things through about how a consumer/driver wants to interact with a car.
    I'm sure the same brainstorming happens with what Musk wants his social media site to become.  Perhaps integrated into Tesla like a CarPlay that can be used by other manufacturers?

    He didn't buy it just to own the libz.

    In a circular building, I wonder if all walking traffic will be one way.   :D
