Did ChatGPT write this?
I think so. I asked ChatGTP "Is Satya Nadella the best tech CEO of last decade?". The response was: It is difficult to definitively say whether Satya Nadella is the best tech CEO of the last decade as there have been many successful and influential CEOs in the tech industry over the past ten years. However, Nadella has certainly made a significant impact on Microsoft and the tech industry as a whole since taking over…
It changed the last part a bit.

#83Betteridge's law of headlines says, “no”.
“Is there any CEO better than Satya Nadella?” The “law” is no such thing.

While I agree with this technically and I have used vi(m) for years, there is something experientially quite different about being able to use a local gui with all the mouse support and ease of use of VSCode or Sublime compared to the chording of more traditional terminal editors. I'm not knocking Emacs or Vim, they are powerful tools but to be able to show a typical first year student how to edit their code remotely…
Emacs had a GUI mode with mouse support since the 80s.
Yes. Now are you going to respond to the parent's actual content? Seamless remote editing with Emacs GUI is not a thing.

Of course it’s a thing. It even has a Wikipedia article. You might not agree with it, but that’s not the same as it not being a thing.

#87I don't know how much of the MS turnaround can be attributed to him, but if we take it at face value that the CEO is responsible for everything, then MS definitely has had a dramatic positive run following Nadella taking the reigns from Ballmer. MS still lacks a industry leading 21st century consumer device and Nadella has not been able to change that but his bets on cloud computing, embracing of Linux and open sourc…
> I am constantly amazed that I can open a linux prompt on windows Similarly, I'm amazed that I can build truly cross-platform .NET apps using Microsoft's own open-source tools from the Linux command line. (Apparently .NET Core, which both adopted the MIT license, and ushered in true cross-platform support, was announced later in the year that Nadella took over. [1] Not sure whether he had anything to do with it.) Wh…
You might think it's an about-face.
I suggest that it's actually just a better executed embrace.

He has lead Apple after Jobs died which is no small task. He oversaw the iPhone market which has been growing continuously under his leadership. He started and grew Apple’s services division, launched Apple Watch, AirPods and the Apple Silicon transition which have all been massively successful by any metric. I don’t understand how Tim Cook’s tenure can be considered not impactful.
I agree with "Apple Silicon transition". Everything else is obvious / organic growth.
AirPods?

#90Tim Cook quintupled the value of Apple and passed on a lot of the fads that other tech companies fell victim to.
He snatched failure from the jaws of success by ruining the cool. Accomplished fragile machines that routinely breakdown, are difficult to repair, and then have the gaul to demand piles of coin from users of said new systems under supposed warranty periods. He has no vision and continues to ride SJ's legacy without innovating. He should step down.
