Only such an idiot can think that pushing 2 updates a day is a good idea.

    Not to mention, the app is just the thing that calls the API to the server that runs the actual models, it's not a reflection on how quickly you're improving those models. In fact, there should be little reason to push a new app update once you've built it.

    The reason is so Elon Musk can make his stupid chart implying that more production releases means better in someway.

    He's really done a great job at dispelling this image he had of being some kind of genius in the last couple of years.

    This is such a joke to anyone in tech. It’s like a Silicone Valley skit.

    Here’s 2 faults:

    1. Most people push a build once a week, because making a stable build usually has an engineer combining people’s work, and sometimes there’s conflicts in the merge.
    2. If you have a lot of bugs, you may need to patch more frequently.

    Either way, it’s a bad look. Doing stable daily pushes is good in development, not in a live environment like this.

    Yeah and my company has the best dev team because we resolve all the critical incidents we cause by shipping buggy code.

    Some of these other loser companies don’t even have incidents!

    Oh wow, Elon figured out how we'll finally get AGI. The key thing is to publish an automatic mobile client update every single hour of the day! That was the secret productivity metric that every single other company was missing. Thanks, big brain business boy!

    Lol equating your busted as fuck code that needs constant patching with growth. Gonna keep that around for my own metrics. Yeah boss this is the 9th hotfix to prod this week! Think where we'll be next month, things are going awesome!

    On the contrary, the rate of mobile app updates being high is more of a red flag of an app development team not having the situation under control, being forced to panic-ship fixes.

    does it count as an "update" every time elon fucks with it to push some fresh nazi shit?

    what a meaningless measure. why don't i update this app one byte at a time? i can say it's massively outpacing the competition by updating 20 thousand times in the last 4 minutes while the competition updated ZERO times, which means we're literally INFINITELY faster and by the end of the year we will have released millions of new versions.

    I have to admit though, getting two app updates per day through the Apple review process is an achievement. (He probably paid them.)

    Minor updates for bugfixes don’t require a real store review.

    Incredibly misleading and/or stupid graphs are so funny to me. Because you ship out the most updates, doesn't mean it's the best, it means youre fixing and/or generating more bugs and issues.

    Yeah, I updated my minecraft mod 20 times in a week, it doesn't mean it's a stellar mod, it's less than mediocre at best. It was primarily fixing bugs and a crash. Meanwhile the Create mod updates about once every three weeks or so on average, but that's because they properly playtest and bugfix and patch and do all that before they send out an actual update.

    Aren't the front ends for these basically chat interfaces that mostly don't change?

    Since when does the update of the frontend equate to a better, more accurate, more efficient backend?

    I think it's because grok ships the most bugs, so they have to ship the most patches.

    Why would you need to update the app? It should all run on their servers. This is indicative of poor and buggy app design.

    He knows exactly what he's saying and he knows his dumb followers will buy it...

    The fact that most people only skim-read what they scroll through helps him as well. People won't even stop to process what they actually read. With this tweet he's basically selling his followers a feeling.
