When people praise SpaceX, the company, it bothers me.
When people praise an engineer at SpaceX that does something cool, I am happy for the engineer.
I’m really not sure why I have to explain this to you.
You don’t have to explain either of those things to me, you can just answer the question I asked:
K, so when people praise SpaceX’s engineers for designing unprecedented machines that do things that no one has ever seen before, that doesn’t bother you?
i.e. when people praise SpaceX’s rockets and launches, does that bother you? Is that praising the company or praising the engineer in your mind?
At the end of the day what the company does is an output of the workers. When people praise what SpaceX does they are praising the workers, unless you view the company as just the CEO, in which case you’re falling into the folly of hero worship.
