I can’t believe I’m going to type this, but I miss the Ballmer days. Current leadership has somehow made this company even worse.

It's a bit like Bush. Sure, what happened back then was indeed stupid, but we didn't know how bad it was going to get.

If you haven't seen it before, I'd recommend Dan Luu's blog post about Ballmer:

Eh, I am pretty sure that if Ballmer was at the wheel today we would see AI literally everywhere in Windows.

What we’re seeing today with Windows is more representative of the times we’re living in rather than because of who’s the CEO.

I don’t doubt for a second Ballmer would also be jumping onto the AI hype train if he was still running the show.
