This seems dangerous for both the codebase and the cars around them.

    That's startup life. Dude might be rolling in it in a couple years and it's a decision. Feel bad for the non tech workers around the bay

    might be rolling in it in a couple years

    Doubtful given 70-90% of startups fail.

    Not sure why this is downvoted. It's a lifestyle choice that is a genuine choice. You don't have to live in SF if it's not for you.

    Yeah I don't get it. You can also work for established companies where you get steady income instead of volatile stocks but you're not going to be able to retire super early with a work life balance that way

    Exactly. I got a drive by downvote which is a shame. Some people are in a situation where they're happy to take a risk, and know that if it fails they won't be destitute, and sometimes you might be paid more to account for the risk. Or less, but you get stock options to account for the risk. They're all valid options as long as you're not forced into it.

    I’m not sure if that is impressive or terrifying.

    Ok, obviously merging while you merge is super dangerous. Almost as dangerous as using light mode on your phone. The rider should've known he was a sociopath just from that.

    Nothing in life really prepares you for meeting such an unfathomable being...

    It’s mind blowing but there are people who really do prefer it! Don’t forget to leave an optional light mode for them!

    Somebody tell that dude that having a "bus factor" doesn't mean you should actively seek getting run over by a bus!

    This is a concept known as CAC (configuration as code) - the driver made changes to the route, making the change visible, reversible, safe, auditable and testable. It's also great for the PRs merged per day metric!

    so he updated his script, or fixed a bug while driving, right?

    Oh I would hope not, it's good practice to not let the person writing the code merge it in, to get a fresh pair of eyes on the code before it goes in.

    Though in a way you could say he "fixed a bug" by merging a bugfix written by somebody else, but that feels like a failure of attribution.
