Good point. And I think that is an important consideration.

However, to be clear, he does have smaller scale management experience - most likely consistently, but at the very least during the Trump campaign.

Perhaps he would be wrong for the job, but certainly there are examples of both experienced and less experienced/inexperienced persons doing awful jobs at the helm of agencies, companies, and even countries.

I would also add that being in charge of such a massive organization often means you do not get to make off the cuff or unilateral decisions so easily as you would, say, at a 50 person organization. You do certainly get to steer, but there are many other hands on the wheel.

As for you being CEO of MS, Satya is doing a decent enough job + I know nothing of your background and you come off as under confident in your ability to do the job. So I'll go with no :p

John Dunkin is the pilot you refer to. Do you think that he should be excluded from the job based on his Trump affiliation - or are there specific things he lacks that would mean he would be unsuitable for the job?

It appears that Mr. Dunkin has decades of experience as a pilot and has no previous affiliation with the FAA.

For a hit piece on Musk, I don't think that's the most flattering quote for the victim in this story.

> the time frame involved is decades

Usually decades. For example, some early 2000s Ford GTs have appreciated to a multiple of their original selling price

Care to provide examples of the patterns? Genuinely curious

> I was so high up on the peak of the C# mountain that recruiters could no longer understand me, employers could no longer understand me, co-workers could no longer understand me

What sort of things were you saying that led to people not understanding you? I can't imagine knowing a language so well that others can no longer understand me

> his specialty is really C#

He used to (maybe still does) work for Google and write Java. Thus, likely making him adept at both languages. C#, from what I understand, is his passion though

Sometimes you can practice the wrong things, so I prefer:

Practice makes permanent.

So because Google Play Music is worse at X, that means Spotify's X can't be bad?

Or are you saying the bar is: "as long as there's something worse"
