They keep talking the big talk about wanting the top technologists, but as soon as you bring up the lack of competitive salaries, or streamlining immigration you get some bullshit answer about better "quality of life".

@jens
I think the fact that we see silicon valley types complaining is a good sign. It indicates that the power relation between tech companies and open source is not entirely one way.

@RyunoKi @jens @hazelnot
The short term goal I think is clear: Work to preserve an identity for Open Source outside of it being useful to corps. Keep fighting the good fight to make clear that we are not subservient. The long term goal is less obvious. I strongly suspect that as Moore's law dies the whole tech space is gonna get shaken up, and I think Open Source being there as an alternative in a world of slower development cycles is key. 1/2

@RyunoKi @jens @hazelnot
What I hope is that we can offer more value added (and exert more control) in a post-"move fast and break things" world. So much proprietary software today gets away with its sins because no matter how shitty your code is, new silicon is gonna come along and rescue you. No (or slower) new silicon means good code is more imporant. 2/2

@billyjoebowers @BlackAzizAnansi what I'm trying to figure out is whether this was Elon's goal, or just the goal of the folks who goaded him into it.
