    Incredibly misleading and/or stupid graphs are so funny to me. Because you ship out the most updates, doesn’t mean it’s the best, it means youre fixing and/or generating more bugs and issues.

    Yeah, I updated my minecraft mod 20 times in a week, it doesn’t mean it’s a stellar mod, it’s less than mediocre at best. It was primarily fixing bugs and a crash. Meanwhile the Create mod updates about once every three weeks or so on average, but that’s because they properly playtest and bugfix and patch and do all that before they send out an actual update.

      I think Muskie is hallunicating. Lieing implies that he knows the truth. Muskie actually believes in his own fever dreams.

      This is why there are a bunch of improvished people adding nonsense updates to git repositories, padding out their resume out of desperation.

      It’s hard to blame them trying to climb their way out of poverty, but it does harm the people trying to do work.

    That statement would make a lot more sense with a benchmark graph based on standardised tasks.

    I think it’s because grok ships the most bugs, so they have to ship the most patches.

    On the contrary, the rate of mobile app updates being high is more of a red flag of an app development team not having the situation under control, being forced to panic-ship fixes.

      Why? I genuinely think that daily delivery in my field (b2b specialized software) would be a very good practice. Why in mobile apps it’s not the truth?

        It’s a bit different with mass market mobile applications because of the supply chain constraints - most notably the Apple reviewing process. Your next app release may for whatever reason they feel like unexpectedly take an additional week, so do ensure that your QA is in order before releasing.

        Another significant factor is the lack of control you have over the software once released - any bugs you ship may potentially be out there for a long, long time.

        Web applications don’t have these constraints and can as such be deployed an infinite amount of times per day. The same goes for backend services, deploy to your hearts content.

        This basically means that most larger mobile applications have adopted approximately weekly release cadences, and that we’ve had to get very good at using feature flagging to control our software in the wild, and avoid large impact of shipped bugs.

    Oh wow, Elon figured out how we’ll finally get AGI. The key thing is to publish an automatic mobile client update every single hour of the day! That was the secret productivity metric that every single other company was missing. Thanks, big brain business boy!

    He knows exactly what he’s saying and he knows his dumb followers will buy it…

    The fact that most people only skim-read what they scroll through helps him as well. People won’t even stop to process what they actually read. With this tweet he’s basically selling his followers a feeling.

        I’ll be the first to admit that I fell for his (initially) near perfect PR that crafted the industry genius image he’s still coasting on to this day. Of course that took a nosedive when he started calling a rescuer “pedo” for pointing out the stupidity of his rescue submarine idea. But it wasn’t until he started talking about IT that I finally started to understand he wasn’t an average CEO manipulating public opinion to his advantage, but an absolute moron who actually never had any idea of what he was talking about. Yes the dude is that stupid, but good PR is actually hard to completely take down.

          Yeah, taking bolt cutters to a colo to forcibly remove half of Twitter’s redundancy was a breaking the camel’s back moment. He really thinks grandiose metaphorical displays like carrying a sink with him to a new job are more important than actually producing anything.
