    young enough i.e 50.

    highly technical with a bunch of technical wins and organizational wins (Asia supply chain, m-chips etc)

    hopefully the guy if he takes over is assertive on the software front. the software recently has been a mess.

      Designwise as far as software goes it's been an inconsistent mess that others have copied from and made the whole UI/UX pretty bad all around.

    As long as they don’t chose the designer of Tahoe I’m fine.

      He's gone, don't worry. He's fiddling around w/ Zuck's products now.

        Leadership that signed off on it still there though.

        In fact this NY Times article suggests long time head of software at Apple is also on the short list of candidates.

        Anecdotally every tech company I have worked for run by a CEO with real world skills; like hardware engineering or in one case, a former surgeon; were great to work at.

        Whenever my employer has leadership that only relates to the world entirely through abstraction; like MBAs, software engineers; those companies crashed and burned.
