Well, you know what I mean.
But anyway, it was like sort of cross-cutting concerns.
So like the old way this was where the CEO was, you know, the entire company was run off the taste of the CEO.
There's pluses and minuses to that system.
Obviously, the minuses were you get stitched leather, but the pluses was that Steve Jobs had a pretty good batting average.
And there's one thing Steve Jobs did not lack, which was opinions.
He knew what he wanted, whether he, what he wanted was good or not.
There was no dilly dallying and no real committees.
I mean, I'm sure there was committees below him, but he got presented with stuff and he said yes or no.
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.
Change this, change that, you know?
Um, but this new system they're describing, uh,
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
I mean, in some respects, like the designers should have the most sway here.
You can give your opinions and whatever, but like in the end.
But unfortunately, org chart wise, everybody on that list is above Molly Anderson, who are the only actual designers.
And honestly, I don't want Greg Josbeak, Eddie Q and Craig Federighi and Ternus.
overriding Steve LeMay and Molly Anderson.
