    An incredibly bad company. As impressive as low earth orbit satellite internet is, it’s impractical to keep launching so many satellites every five years just to provide internet inferior to wired in all but niche cases. This is their strongest commercial case.

    The company benefits greatly from government contracts paid out instead of properly supporting NASA. NASA could’ve been tasked with developing reusable rockets, but it is intentionally hobbled for political purposes.

    Even with things working in SpaceX’s favor, it gets saddled with the neutron star known as xAI under twitter/x, competely outweighing any possible profit by far.

    Apparently investors also separate money from money because tesla’s valuation makes absolutely no sense from a money perspective either with a PE ratio of over 300.

    What you’re describing aren’t investors, but gamblers benefiting from a rigged market.





  • Absolutely. I have to have regular conversations with my manager about career progression because in the surveys they highly encourage people to take, people said they felt stagnant in their careers. Well now we have to pretend to have a productive conversation on career progression while the stagnation remains, but managers have to come up with an excuse why so-and-so didn’t get a promotion during performance review time (usually it’s “you’re so close, but we’re looking for more X” where X can change to whatever is convenient to deny a promotion).

    On top of that, they now ask us how we use AI in our daily work because they’re desperate for “AI wins”.

    Reminds me of those people claiming they’re “10x more productive” and “doing the work of entire teams”. With so much increased productivity, I would assume these results would be plainly visible through rapidly improving featureful applications, but instead we see declining quality in established software (e.g. windows 11) and a whole lot of garbage nobody wants to deal with like slop PR spam and these app releases.
