SpaceX never set out to build a software platform. The product, as @scottgmorton put it, was simple: get things to orbit. Inside the company, programs were kept deliberately siloed so engineers could move without friction. But the software Scott's team built went viral across the entire company, eventually scaling up to run on the largest rocket in the world. That success left him with a question: was his biggest impact staying inside the company or taking what he'd built to everyone else…

"Nobody is going to bet their career on vibe-coding a nuclear reactor." @scottgmorton is the founder and CEO of @RevelHQ, building the modern command-and-control software platform for the physical world. The ex-SpaceX engineer realized the broader hardware industry was trapped in the 1980s, relying on fragile legacy tools or spending years trying to build control systems from scratch. So he built Revel to power everything from nuclear reactors to industrial facilities monitoring over 250,000 telemetry channels.
