atomicthumbs took screenshots of fart-powered cars' (nee Xealous) posts (in amberPOS color scheme) about Tesla software / infrastructure funny fuckups from the thread formerly titled "Elon musk kill the kids" and posted them on Twitter

The tweets met with some traction and the Twitter thread got posted on HN, on a Tesla fan subreddit, on the programming subreddit, on boingboing and on Digg

Did I miss any other major venues? Someone was saying that this was going to make it to ars technica but I think that was intended as a joke

did atomic thumbs get permission? I mean I know this site is public (sometimes at least) so it's not like like this is private but still, a bit rude maybe? like if said poster knew his poo poo was gonna get plastered on the wider web maybe he wouldnt have done it and now he's uncomfortable?

falls into the "you're not wrong, you're just an rear end in a top hat" category methinks

Yeah, maybe it was kind of a party foul but Xealous seemed chill with the possibility of what he was saying going public. It wasn't as though he was angry about most of the fuckups he described, more the management/engineering culture that generated them, refused to learn from them, and "move fast and break things"ed with no plan to go back and fix things again

The posts specifically about mismanagement are few but damning and no litany of technical fuckups suck as what Xealous described would be possible without some serious dysfunction

No permission was obtained but some regret has been expressed:

atomicthumbs posted:

i really should've asked first before posting the stuff on twitter, i had no idea it would go viral and i don't want to get anyone in trouble (and someone was already crossposting to reddit). i was a small account, god dammit, this isn't supposed to happen

atomicthumbs posted:

also potentially get forums user fart-powered cars in trouble (absolutely no idea how plausible it is) if it somehow ended up breaking an NDA or something he didn't know about because i was bored at 4 AM and wanted to laugh at horrible car computer with a different set of online friends

Out of curiosity, how did you determine that there were 25 new users?
