These people who think he’s playing 4D chess are the new QAnon class. They keep deciphering his shit looking for hidden meaning or genius when the reality is much more simple: the motherfucker is just really that dumb.
What Elon is doing is a revolt by entrepreneurial capital against the professional-managerial class regime that otherwise everywhere dominates (including and especially large tech companies), and that same PMC (which includes the media) is treating it as an act of lèse-majesté.

Be wary of the person who tries to sell you on a language or framework that allows you to “write once and run everywhere” for they are selling you a lie.
This tweet was relevant a decade ago and it will be in the next decade when this comes around again.

If you’re not spending at least 30% of your release cycle on code hygiene and paying down technical debt, your software development process is broken.

My house has been filled with carbon monoxide because of a non-functional flue vent. Replacing the pipe would have required a lot of drywall being knocked out, so I am just replacing my entire HVAC system to re-route that pipe.
A true programmer: rewriting over refactoring.

Most people in my circles have known for a long time this guy is a dope, but now it’s becoming obvious to the rest of the world. I wouldn’t trust him to run a Starbucks. That requires skills he obviously does not have.

If you are still getting ramped up I have three recommendations.
1. The WWDC sessions, obviously. Combine in Practice from 2019 had plenty of great examples of real world usage.

If you think about your job after you sign off for the day, it may be time for a new gig.
If you think about your job on the weekend, it’s definitely time for a new gig.

I’ve learned way to much about iOS Data Protection this week.
Pro tip: it’s best to assume your app will always have its container locked with NSFileProtectionComplete.
MDM policies can seemingly overrride your defaults from my research/headaches.

Armchair quarterbacking* Big Fruit’s (or any other company for that matter) SWE practices from the outside is tacky and unhelpful.
* the “quarterback” is the player who throws or hands off the ball in football. He’s what agile developers would call the “Scrum Lord.”

If you still think Twitter and social media in general is as simple as 'the place where people post what they had for lunch' then yeah. You are going to get people killed.

I have no idea what I’m doing pretty much daily. I experiment and figure stuff out as I go.
It would be cool if more senior engineers would admit that they don’t have everything all figured out so the junior folks didn’t have such unrealistic expectations.

To stop crashes from the Facebook SDK, some devs tried commenting out any code that calls Facebook. Nothing worked.
It turns out that by just including the SDK with your app, Facebook runs hidden code on launch. (FBSDKApplicationDelegate.m)

It was 2007 and I was told it would be good for the blog and my career. I can’t even lie and pretend both weren’t true.

Here it is: Twitter engineers were told today to *print out* their last 30 to 60 days of code, so they could show it to Elon Musk himself.
Then they were told wait, no, actually, please shred all that code you just printed out.

Dumb trick I picked up a few years ago (from
@drance
?): when you leave a expository comment in code, initial and date it. The date context can be helpful to determine if a workaround or assumption is still valid today vs in the past.
This probably won't scale to a larger team.

If you tried to commit SwiftUI code to any of my projects I would reject the PR. Let that stuff bake for a few years. Teach ‘em stuff that they will actually use.
