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.
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.

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
-
My ass would just write functions that take a huge amount of parameters and assign one in each line
Oh the amount of redundant code I would write
Employee that was mining crypto on the side is hella stoked at this news.
Meanwhile his mate sitting across from him was gpu mining
Probably mining dogecoin or something else Musk would like.
So, the bonus goes to the guy who was playing Factorio when he should have been working?
Isn’t Factorio very optimized, not in the sense that it uses all system resources completely, but in the sense that it has very efficient code enabling millions of operations and increasing without needing much more system resources to scale it?
I would definitely go with Arma in this case. Although it has very heavy calculations for a lot of things to start with, it can’t scale well and cause CPU bottleneck very soon.
Factorio definitely taxes CPU usage heavily if you’re building a mega base. Don’t get me wrong, it’s gotta be a big ass base, but you could just import somebody’s monstrosity and run it in the background.
Join a Space Exploration server and help optimize that mess, lol
cries thinking about circuit network rocket controls
It is pretty well optimized. I think it might not be, like, genius-level amazing, but the devs care about performance and worked to improve it.
In the end though, it’s a game where the entire map (as generated so far) is simulated - I think there’s cases where chunks go to sleep, but it’s not Minecraft’s “stop simulating anything not next to a player”. When combined with players building lots of machines moving many, many items around, you’ll inevitably end up with some serious CPU usage. Not a problem on a decent computer, but I have had friends struggle on weak laptops, even getting dropped as they literally couldn’t keep up with the server.
You can always use the gamespeed command to lighten the load on slower clients
So i played through factorio once and i gotta say cpu isn’t that big of a problem. Ram is tho. Had 20% cpu utilisation in my end base but like 80% ram usage. I had 16 gb at that time, i specifically bought 64 gb just to make sure i can play factorio without problems😂
Watch Nilaus Mega base Master class videos. CPU matters once you’re building city blocks at a time
Modded minecraft bb
Just boot up a modpack, that will max out all resources for a solid 10 minutes during launcher startup
If you want to crush a cpu it’s Dwarf Fortress time.
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…

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.
Lmao true. Having to open that piece of shit always causes me so much pain
I wonder how my CPU is benchmarking since 3 minutes ago?
I assume this is fake since no one at X is getting a Christmas bonus.
it was edited from “salary” to “christmas bonus”
“You wasted trillions of cycles, then ask me for Money?!?” - Elon, probably
I love receiving a bonus for mining Bitcoin on company hardware

Employee of the century, free brothel on mars.
Just exec a fork bomb
Run prime95 in the background of all of your work. Even when you go home, leave it running… 24/7 100% CPU usage.
Have those PCs do something useful and run folding@home, that way this company would actually benefit humanity for once

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.
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
That’s what this is satirizing, yeah
Wait this is satire?
Yeah, it’s hilariously close to the truth.
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
So those who misuse company assets to enrich themselves b mining crypto get rewarded by larger bonuses? Sounds like the way the world works for those super rich fellas like Elon “Edgelord” Musk.
Is this real?
I can’t even tell anymore
His entire life is a shitpost incarnate, and not a very good one
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.
Monero, here we come!
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
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
Suddenly everyone at Twitter starts mining crypto.
Do folding at home
more like folding at work
Just get a pentium 4 and open outlook 2016
