I read it more like “I need you all to do more work than you’re already doing, but I‘m definitely not paying you more for it”. He’s already tried getting them to volunteer their time on the weekends, which is illegal.

The guy is best buds with Theil.  Musk has been this person his whole life, he just used to hide it better.

Written? Lame.

It was a 1900 mile drive. Pretty sure a flight is always faster.

It really depends on where you are going. But the writer of the article does a good job laying out everything you should consider before you make the fly/drive decision.

We just did the math on a trip to CO to visit my daughter in September. We were planning driving out from ATL to DEN and points beyond, doing some…

Yep. Federal mileage reimbursement is $0.625 per mile.

This totally ignores the value of your time and wear and tear on a vehicle.

Yup. QA always knows. People blaming QA is part of what made me leave the industry. I worked on a game that had one extremely bad level, I voiced my complaints on every survey and report.
