How does that invalidate anything of what he said or vindicate Tesla exactly? Do you believe that because some large companies are shitty places to work that everyone should just accept it as the status quo and shut the fuck up about it? Why are you expecting a single employee to try to 'change things' and why do you think that him speaking up about the issues is not an attempt to do just that?
I don't get your attitude at all.
If you say so. As an embedded system engineer, I mentioned this twitter thread when I was shooting the breeze with my boss because it reminds me we hold ourselves to a high standard even though my brain sometimes turns into a perfectionist that can only see the problems with our product.
I don't know how to say this without going into full on humblebrag mode, so I'll give the condensed version. He touched on a handful of points that are common between our companies/products, and where I often worry about quality. In those cases I was reassured by the fact we don't have that severe of problems, and the way our processes are designed it would never be allowed out of the lab.
