As I was sitting here yesterday evening it came to me. Musk keeps using these guys because they’re willing to do things these other more experienced people are not. I want to be crystal clear: This isn’t something I’m reporting. I believe it’s just the most logical reading of the available evidence.
Basically, people who are a bit older know that it’s not worth committing a crime because their boss said so, but a bunch of interns who don’t know better are willing.
Yeah, no shit – most of them are basically college-student-aged. CS undergrads are pretty much fucking useless at accomplishing anything on any real-world production systems (as opposed to making barely-working toy implementations to turn in for an assignment and never touch again).
