Working as a programmer, since 1981, I've seen this crap before. Some fool, who thinks programming is easy, and that software engineers are overpaid, fires the top coders (or causes people to leave on their own, with draconian work environments). After a few months, when junior programmers can't cope, or figure out how the systems work, the company folds. Even with the best documentation, it is often hard to figure out all the interrelations, of one system with another. OOPS programming languages were meant to make this easier, but with all the inheritances, and coding short hands, actually make it worse. Musk thinks he's smarter than all his employees. He's wrong.

@yelnatsch517 Another person who clearly has never worked in software. Just because you aren't sitting at your desk, doesn't mean you aren't working. You are mulling over problems, and finding solutions, as you go for a walk, or take an exercise class, brush your teeth, etc. I solved a problem, that I was told couldn't be solved, in 1984, while working for Wordplex Ltd., in my sleep. I woke up knowing how to make a robust network, which could operate on half duplex lines, without collisions, that later became know as a token ring. My nomenclature wasn't elegant, but my algorithm and code were.
