My knee-jerk reaction to the book Hooked (which I've somewhat shamefully avoided reading out of a sort of premeditated disgust) was based on the general arguments laid out in this …

I really don't believe this is true for tech companies at all. A decade ago, I had a front-row seat for Yahoo! under the stewardship of CEOs brought in to run the business well. Th…
