Comment on My Job Is to Train Tesla's Cars to Drive Themselves

  These people have just about zero idea about how the engineering process works, and it shows.

  Well, now that’s obviously not true. They wouldn’t have drivable cars if they had no idea how to engineer one…

        If it helps i can explain how lemmy thinks,

        Elon does nothing at his companies and is lazy and stupid, also Elon is intricately responsible for everything which happens at his companies and so everything they do is bad.

        They will believe any ‘Elon bad’ story because they’re desperate to, largely because he said some bad things on Twitter and is bad at memes. They will also assume any Elon related thing is bad because to them reality is a team sport and if someone has differing political opinions they must be not only ontological evil but stupid and bad in every way.

    I once paid an electrician to do some electrical work in my house, therefor I am an electrician, otherwise, how would I have working power in my house?

      Would you claim the company he worked for has zero understanding of how to do electrical work?

  I’m lucky enough that both of the shareholders of my company are software engineers; one has transitioned to sales and project management, the other is still an engineer, he’s also the CTO.

  Was discussing office chairs with our team lead/office supplies person (it’s a really small company, some people have multiple roles) and when I mentioned that my chair gets really creaky when leaning back but otherwise it works so it really just needs some lubrication, she asked why I would even lean so far back in my chair and the CTO told her “There’s two sitting positions for programming. The writing position and the thinking position”

  TL;DR: Takes an engineer to know how engineering works. Turns out that you have to spend a lot of time just thinking
