    These companies set the bar rather high. Your typical gigging Java/C# developer wouldn't have a hope in hell of getting in.

      You think Tesla and SpaceX would have been successful with 1000 permie NothernladUK clones working 40 hour weeks . Taking their 1 hour lunch breaks to eat their boring spam sandwiches.

        The man is a visionary, not all visionaries are likeable.

        Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

          Oddly about 7 years ago I had a couple of well-known US tech companies interested in me and they approach me more than once. After reading all the stories about the horrific sexism in the companies I turned them down. (Plus I didn't want to be a permie.)

            I can't think of one that is likeable.

              Tim Berners Lee? Seems like a nice chap.

              Richard Branson is quite friendly based on one meeting.

              The few of the senior Apache team I worked with were good fun.

                      I was referring to his use of mind altering substances on a talk show.

                      Which doesn't explain quite why he's such an irredeemable arsehole.
