Sorry to hear that, but think of all the things you'll be doing now that you're not in servitude to Elon Musk for 72-84 hours a week!

The brother of a friend got an interview and it went like this:

"Write code that would allow X to X, okay?...Begin"

And then there were four guys standing behind him watching him write code. His previous qualification as I understand it, he could never talk about. Those are the kind of guys they like. Extremely technical peoples it seems.

Yeah, I figured my chances were pretty slim without a highly technical background, but I figured I'd give it a shot. Oh well—I never liked California anyway.

Yeah I've still got some exciting stuff in the pipeline. One of the few non–engineering and non–finance people I know who does : /
