I actually don't think Musk will have a problem staffing up with devs who are aligned with his vision. Tons of recent layoffs in tech, w/ more coming, & recession fears really kicking in. He's in a buyer's market for talent right now, & it's likely to get even better.

I personally might be worried about being fired back into a recession, because I'm very good & competent but not great/10X. However, I can name a number of great coders who, if THEY were fired, would mean Musk's project is doomed anyway. twitter.com/poiThePoi/stat…

Musk isn't looking for coders like me who are competent at craft & process, & who can always make it work, especially as part of a good team. He's looking for that guy who everyone is like, "wait... you did this /in a weekend/?!" He wants 100 of latter, not 1K of the former.

Well, there are different kinds of them. She/they demi-catgirl Rust wizard is not gonna work at Twitter, but the based will be another matter. It'll come down to ideology, chance to work w/ Musk, & comp. twitter.com/adam_chal/stat…

I could always be wrong, of course. Could be that very few great programmers actually want to run into the burning building & save the blue bird. Or, the offers could suck.
