Mason Morfit: "The lion's share of credit has to go to Satya Nadella. To state the obvious, he's just been an incredible CEO... The company was losing ~$5 billion a year on this ill-fated devices venture... Satya very quickly pivoted the company." https://t.co/5ru5BIy9sl

AI saved the non-technical engineering leader. For years, losing hands-on skills felt like decline. Now? Architecture experience plus AI equals leverage. Typing speed doesn’t win anymore. Judgment does. And the people with 20 years of it just became dangerous again.
We’re entering a world where answers are cheap. That doesn’t make leadership easier. It makes it harder. When answers arrive instantly, the bottleneck shifts upstream… to judgment. Judgment is a leadership skill. More insight, less noise → decision.substack.com #DecisionIntelligence #AILeadership...

Many leaders chase more. I choose better. I thought growth meant more more meetings, more projects, more noise. It looked productive. It wasn’t. When everything matters, nothing does.
