As a software engineer, it still blows my mind that any software people take him seriously at all after the way he handled Twitter. He literally asked programmers to print out the code they’d written in the last 6 months so he could fire whoever wrote the fewest lines.
I have never seen any evidence that he wrote any code at all. I am interested in being proven wrong. I’d want to see a video or picture of him actually typing something. If not that, then at least some commits with his name on it.
He makes some pretty revealing statements about tech, sometimes.
"I personally wrote the first national maps,directions,yellow pages & white pages on the Internet in the summer of 1995 in C with a little C++.
Didn’t use a “web server” to save CPU cycles (just read port 8080 directly). Couldn’t afford a Cisco T1 router, so wrote an emulator based on a white paper."

Dude has no fucking clue how any of it works.
