I'm not really here anymore and will eventually delete this account. Fortunately, I didn't waste much time on Twitter, so I didn't have much of a following. Find me at BlueSky, but I hope not to spend much time there, either.

It's unbelievable how many dynamic companies broke their streaks of engineer-CEOs for the first time in the 2000s, installing their first MBA/finance CEOs, who then promptly made fundamental strategic errors that nixed the company's future, that are now becoming obvious.
