In contrast, people like those top cave-divers who found & rescued the boys (their technical achievement & bravery is one for the ages) come from an opposite culture that is no less innovative but very very different. It's also quite modest so that hides the amazing nature of it.

I do seem to have a zillion of them defending Musk with enormous zeal right now in my mentions because he replied to this thread, and I wouldn't wish this kind of fame and fan-base on my worst enemy.

The rescuer I've quoted in the first tweet made the "PR-stunt" comment re:Musk's sub, not me. That diver is not a bystander—if someone made a movie, I'd make him the key character. Still, he clearly spoke out in irritation and I was trying to explain why.https://twitter.com/TMclaughlin3/status/1018514508598276096 …

But my piece—and this thread—is an attempt to go beyond the irritations of the moment and discuss what the tech world could learn from the slow, iterative and deeper safety cultures—but there's a lot to recommend to the can-do optimism in Silicon Valley. Not in isolation, though.

I’m dumbfounded by this. I’d understand getting mad at me (whatev
) but Vern Unsworth is, by all accounts I saw, a key hero of the miraculous rescue. The kids certainly—and many more divers likely—would be dead if not for him. Apology badly needed.https://twitter.com/maxwelltani/status/1018517885080211456 …

Seems Musk has deleted his inflammatory tweets & his responses to me.
That makes it hard to follow threads so here's my screenshots on why developing a back-up option QUIETLY is great but doing it with gobs of publicity has potential for harm. https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1018498560789286912 …pic.twitter.com/VyIx0gPsxs

If he had quitely worked on this (and continued to work after the rescue because if it has potential, it will take development) and unveiled it as an ongoing effort after the rescue, I'd be cheering and the cave-diving community would buy him a beer or lemonade (or whatever).

Except narcissists usually don't react too well to criticism.
