I am eager to see the output. We are long past the days we could pretend technology work is politically neutral, or just an assumed benefit to society.
I frequently ponder how does a coder prepare for a #MuskLevelEvent where the whole project gets purchased invaded, or rifled through by DOGE thugs.
The way Musk went after current and previous employees changed how I see coding.
How do you prepare your codebase for a #MuskLevelEvent ?
He has forced me to frequently imagine, what's the worst that could happen if a hostile owner buys the codebase.
I can't imagine anyone ever choosing to work for Musk after the #TwitterFiles. The way he doxxed, leaked, outed, and publicly harassed his own employees and former employees!
Writing code now I gotta ask myself, what happens if Musk buys this codebase? It is hard to prepare for a #MuskLevelEvent.
My main take away from the #TwitterFiles was never work for Elon Musk or a company who would sell out to similar. The way he went after current and previous employees makes working for or near him untenable.
Tough to write defensive code for a #MuskLevelEvent. Be careful what you track/retain.
