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.
Two weeks is also such a random and unimpressive statistic.
It’s generally the length of short sprints (blocks of time where some tasks have been estimated/committed for)
If you’re deploying a new version more frequently than that it’s usually either putting out fires & hot fixing, or someone fucked up the pipeline and now any commit will immediately be deployed straight to prod

Pathetic.
This is why there are a bunch of improvished people adding nonsense updates to git repositories, padding out their resume out of desperation.
It’s hard to blame them trying to climb their way out of poverty, but it does harm the people trying to do work.
Having to do the most amount of bug fixes for the app (that does not run the AI itself) is not the flex you think it is
wow its getting dumber faster than the other companies what an achievement
To me, that just looks like “move fast and break things” taken to an extreme level. Quantity ≠ quality. Honestly, I think it kinda makes the other companies look better, in terms of software quality.
(I’m going solely by the chart though; I have not installed any of these apps)
That statement would make a lot more sense with a benchmark graph based on standardised tasks.
I thought Musk was in a ketamine hole when announcing lawsuit against Apple and OpenAI. Waking up briefly to add this legal argument is not proof of not still being in hole.
Only such an idiot can think that pushing 2 updates a day is a good idea.
I have some apps that havent been updated for like a year because the simply fucking work.
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.
Unless your Ai creates the app. This may be a reflection of how bad Grok really is.
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.
He’s been doing that the whole time, he just finally got to an area more people online are experts in.
Yeah, I personally noticed when there was this whole Thai cave saga, but I’m sure there were signs for decades before that.
Only such an idiot can think that pushing 2 updates a day is a good idea.
Lets be fair. He’s a special kind of idiot.
Maybe you just haven’t had enough ketamine.
Nah, its a great idea. Bug fix, and then hot fix for the new bug you just deployed!
Let’s change the font size.
Not only a good idea, but indicative of positive growth.
This is such a joke to anyone in tech. It’s like a Silicone Valley skit.
I know next to nothing about publishing an app and my alarm bells went off immediately
Here’s 2 faults:
- 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.
- 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.
I’m nowhere close to tech and this is obviously a bad sign. Imagine an apartment complex trying to get new tenants by advertising that they have plumbers and exterminators do work twice a day at various units.
Silly Con Valley, amirite?
Silicon*
no he was talking about the porn parody of the show
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!
Merge Request 1472: Add commentThey’re making frivolous updates at a speed and scale Sam Altman can only dream of
Merge request 1473: Remove extraneous comment
Oh who are we kidding, they probably don’t do merge requests, they just push to master.
Quick! Ship it now!
Two of the updates are “new outfits for Ani”.
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!
I can make bullshit graphs based on meaningless numbers too. 🤷♂️
Yeah but can you spew that nonsense at millions of people on your very own shitty platform? Gotta get on muskies level.
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.
he’s so monumentally stupid
