    This just false. Sure, he did not do everything alone but he has a huge hand in engineering concepts and design decisions. Lots of hate and complete misunderstanding how spaceship, spaceX and Musk work in this thread.

      The dude prefers reviewing source code on paper.

      Anyone who writes code knows that is not a practical way to review.

      Maybe in his time he got book smart about some physics/rocket concepts. That’s the least I would expect anyway. But that doesn’t mean he really has any expertise to offer to the product.

        I agree it makes no sense. A fair number of my clients are morons and about 2 or 3 times a year they want a printout of the code.

          He doesn’t do shit. All of that is just him saying buzzwords he learnt from the actual engineers so he’d look smart.
