> this is why Elon told Twitter engineers to print their code - he's a boomer programmer who grew up in this era when that really was how you read and reviewed code

Just to clear up a misconception: Elon Musk isn't and never was a programmer. He never went to school for it, never had a job in it, and his wikipedia mentions nothing about even having the ability to code. He at one point needed some of his devs' help running a Python program. His reasons for having them print out the code at Twitter are almost certainly not due to "that's how it used to be".

TO BE CLEAR: This comment isn't a dig at Elon. I personally dislike him, but this fact about him doesn't make him a worse person. Just clearing up an obvious misconception that @yodon has about him.

Musk has made reference to programming C++ in the past.
