And maybe that's the era where that rumor came from, but...

But yeah, I hope Ternus is, I hope Ternus is able to recognize problems before Tim Cook, which is not hard, but still.

And I hope he has been lobbying to like, you know, I know I'm not in that part of the org, but like, like, I hope like, you know, we say Tim Cook reading the room or having his finger on the pulse.

How is Apple doing?

That's really hard to do when you're high up in the – because it's kind of part of your job is to be like rah-rah Apple or whatever.

But like you have to have a clear-eyed view.

Steve Jobs is really good at that probably because he hated everything, right?

So whatever Apple was doing is like, this is crap.

We could do better, right?

Tim Cook at various times seems to be distracted by his various money-making schemes and other things and not really keeping his eye on the ball.

Like, why do people buy our products and are we selling products that fulfill that promise?

And, you know, like taking his eye off the ball with the Mac for such a long time, taking his eye off the ball on design, like just not understanding how developers attitude towards Apple.

I think to his grave, he will go to his grave, not understanding how much developers dislike Apple because of the decisions he's made for most of his tenure.

Uh, he's got blind spots.

So I'm hoping Ternus, uh, it wasn't simply a fixer called in Pulp Fiction.

Is it Pulp Fiction?

Yeah.
