676: A Sternly Worded Instruction

I mean, I'm sure there was committees below him, but he got presented with stuff and he said yes or no.

676: A Sternly Worded Instruction

And I think Johnny was like that as well.

The stories when he was like, had one foot out the door for seemingly years was like, he'd just be hanging out at his place in San Francisco and he'd, you know, come to a meeting and he would say, show me all the crap that you made.

And he would say, yes, no, no, yes, no.

Accidental Tech Podcast
676: A Sternly Worded Instruction

Change this, change that, you know?

Accidental Tech Podcast
676: A Sternly Worded Instruction

Um, but this new system they're describing, uh,

Accidental Tech Podcast
676: A Sternly Worded Instruction

doesn't really reassure me which is like a whole bunch of people who are not designers offering their opinions on designs offered to them by designers and the designers get to give their opinions as well but like if it's if it's molly anderson and steve lemay arguing with eddie q about design i'm like eddie just like

And honestly, I don't want Greg Josbeak, Eddie Q and Craig Federighi and Ternus.

On the other hand, when they delegated to Alan Dye and let him do what he wanted, he made bad decisions.

So I'm not sure what to do about this org chart, but if Gurman's reporting here is true, it is a very interesting sort of stew of people that makes it very difficult to know who to blame for things that Apple does that you don't like design-wise.

Accidental Tech Podcast
676: A Sternly Worded Instruction

Much easier when it was just I've.

Accidental Tech Podcast
676: A Sternly Worded Instruction

Yeah, but all those people shouldn't be in the meeting.

Accidental Tech Podcast
676: A Sternly Worded Instruction

It's difficult to tell from the outside whether Steve LeMay, not Steve LeMay, Ternus was deployed.

Accidental Tech Podcast
676: A Sternly Worded Instruction

You finally got his name.

Accidental Tech Podcast
676: A Sternly Worded Instruction

We finally got it, and we weren't even talking about it.
