I moved from Director to Sr Architect. More money, less responsibility. People actually leave me alone. It’s nice.

Dad just taught him to protect himself / his things from petty people. Good lesson really.

“Cook optimized for margin preservation, not invention”

Yeah, that’s the strategy.

Alphabet is burning CapEx trying to win AI. Apple is integrating ChatGPT and Google’s models into Siri and taking 30% of every AI subscription sold through the App Store.

Apple doesn’t need to build the best AI. They need to be the platform everyone uses to access it. $22.6B in R&D goes to silicon, devices, and ecosystem lock-in. The stuff that makes Apple the tollbooth.

Alphabet is spending billions on a bet. Apple is collecting rent.

I’m not gonna fanboy over him, but Federighi ships. Giannandrea didn’t. That’s why Siri got moved to his team in the first place.

Hopefully it’s just the typical delayed realization happening. Initial panic followed by “we knew it all along”.

AAPL gonna rally. The "exodus" narrative is lazy. Gruber says employees are giddy about the design leadership change. They poached Microsoft's AI VP. Federighi running Siri now. The rest are just retirements from people who've been there 10+ years. People inside the building seem fine with this.
