The 'all-green-light' thought experiment for engineering schedules

A post frames Elon Musk's aggressive schedules through comments from Neuralink president DJ Seo, who calls the approach a first-principles engineering exercise rather than an arbitrary management tactic. Seo describes asking how fast a chip could be made or a robot designed and tested if administrative, shipping and legacy bottlenecks disappeared. He suggests that at least 80–90% of perceived delays may rest on unexamined assumptions, while acknowledging he doesn't know the right figure.
