I wonder how my CPU is benchmarking since 3 minutes ago?
Lmao true. Having to open that piece of shit always causes me so much pain
I haven’t even had to turn my heater on during work hours this year thanks to Android Studio.
The install process for Android Studio should also prompt you to download more ram, it’s unacceptable that they don’t.
Is this real?
I have no idea but I had the same question. I also love the fact that We’d believe that he’d do something like this.
Please tell me it’s real.
I can’t even tell anymore
His entire life is a shitpost incarnate, and not a very good one
Employee that was mining crypto on the side is hella stoked at this news.
Probably mining dogecoin or something else Musk would like.
Meanwhile his mate sitting across from him was gpu mining
I so hope this is fake, because this is so stupid, even by Space Karen standards.
Wasn’t he firing people based on number of, or lack of, code commits at one point? Even if this isn’t real, it’s still very on-brand.
He was also doing that examination by having people print out the code for him to read apparently
Surprised the dude didn’t have them fax it in at this point
That’s what this is satirizing, yeah
Wait this is satire?
Yeah, it’s hilariously close to the truth.
Lines of code too iirc. This is about equally accurate.
My most productive days have ended with negative LOC. It’s such a trash metric that only someone that’s never been a developer could dream up.
I was at a company once where they didn’t understand how bad this metric was. They worshipped this one guy who would work all night and have a record number of lines of code changed.
They thought he was a programming god.
I realized he knew how to do “refactor” in his IDE, and every day the class hierarchy would change
Keep so much shit running on my work computer I’d be loaded
Oh god he’d actually do this and employees would have to try to get the weakest CPU possible so percentage utilisation would be higher.
just run a stress cpu program 24/7
Do folding at home
more like folding at work
Just get a pentium 4 and open outlook 2016
Suddenly everyone at Twitter starts mining crypto.
Fake for any of those wondering.
But keeping employees based on how many lines of code they have written, which he did, is essentially the same logic.
I would do so poorly there, in many ways …. I love those days when my lines of code is negative
There are 2 things in coding that are incredibly satisfying for me:
-
Compiling after implementing a fuckton of features
-
Deleting a massive amount of code after refactoring for a while
-
Oh the amount of redundant code I would write
Ernest Hemingway was paid by the word, which shows in his work. I imagine this pay structure would have a similar effect on how people code.
Please correct me if I’m wrong, but I thought that saying was for Dickens? Wasn’t Hemingway famously terse?
I thought it was about Steven King, but it might just be all the cocaine he did.
I’m not a coder, but wanting code that isn’t streamlined seems like a bad plan to me.

My ass would just write functions that take a huge amount of parameters and assign one in each line
Just turn on a cryptocurrency cpu miner.
while true; do npm ci; done
Prime95 for maximum bonus!
Folding@Home it is
Best answer. Very underrated
Agreed
I remember keeping that thing running on my ps3 constantly back in the day. If I wasn’t gaming I was Folding@Home. It’s such a shame they didn’t bring that back for the ps4/5
Mining away~
Monero, here we come!
I love receiving a bonus for mining Bitcoin on company hardware
I’m glad to hear this is fake but it seemed 100% believable to me
The part where it said “Christmas Bonus” should have been the tip off…
That’s because you assume it means financial reward but the real reward is the privilege to serve the company, what a bonus!
The real treasure was the sociopathic acquaintances we made along the way.
Or just “bonus.”
That’s the joke.
Elon is so random and unpredictable that you can make up just about anything about him and nobody will really know if it’s satire or not…
