Greetings from near tropical NYC!
Also I read that Twitter is coded in Scala, a highly structured language. It should be readily maintainable, unlike Musk's stuff over at Tesla which is written in Basic, erm I mean Python. As wait-n-see said, it shouldn't take long for new people to start showing productivity on well-defined and measurable tasks.
That's a problem with working in the software field. Good work strips out all your personal intellectual property and is clearly understandable by someone else. Ever since "The Mythical Man-Month" there's been a focus on making software workers interchangeable -- like Henry Ford's assembly line, where products were designed for imperfect but close-enough parts to be interchangeable.
Elon is sure to take full advantage of this. He's a quick study and he has a team of his software people supervising it. It's not humane, but it's software.
