They're not, though. Stark is a rare engineering powerhouse who personally pushed past a lot of engineering boundaries, and Musk is an investor/programmer who mostly puts his name on existing things.
I might change my mind if Musk personally invents AGI, nanobots, and a previously-unknown clean energy source capable of powering a 1/3rd of NYC with a room no larger than a foyer, like Stark did, but I'm not holding out much by way of hopes.
Considering he asked twitter programmers to print out their pull requests Im not even sure he's not cosplaying a programmer
Wow I hadn't heard about that.
Dude even brought in some poor Tesla engineers to review it. ๐
Did he want them faxed to him?
When he apparently was a programmer, this was a bit more normal.
I've met a few professors requiring uni assignments' code printed.
When he wrote code at PayPal, people kept having to go back and fix it. He doesn't know what he's doing.
OK. I just meant that one can demand that as a sign of respect or something. With a sufficient degree of narcissism.
I imagine that a university level coding assignment and the backend code that runs the Twitter.com website (albeit just fractions of it) are several orders of magnitude apart from each other in terms of size and complexity. I don't know shit about programming though, I took C++ in high school and got a D+. Should've called the class Introduction to D++.
