How Elon Works | How Elon Thinks: There are endless lessons in these two podcasts about how Elon Musk works and thinks. Love him or hate him, there is still much to learn from such a powerful person who controls so many resources. Steve Jobs was a similar character in technology. Anyway, on the Musk links above, I like the “hard core” and “real work” bits best. I used to hear both of those words regularly when I worked on the OpenSolaris Project. In fact, many FOSS developers used those terms when I worked in the valley. I don’t hear them much these days, though.
