Accidental Tech Podcast
676: A Sternly Worded Instruction

Well, you know what I mean.

Accidental Tech Podcast

But anyway, it was like sort of cross-cutting concerns.

Accidental Tech Podcast
676: A Sternly Worded Instruction

So like the old way this was where the CEO was, you know, the entire company was run off the taste of the CEO.

Accidental Tech Podcast
676: A Sternly Worded Instruction

There's pluses and minuses to that system.

Accidental Tech Podcast
676: A Sternly Worded Instruction

Obviously, the minuses were you get stitched leather, but the pluses was that Steve Jobs had a pretty good batting average.

Accidental Tech Podcast
676: A Sternly Worded Instruction

And there's one thing Steve Jobs did not lack, which was opinions.

Accidental Tech Podcast
676: A Sternly Worded Instruction

He knew what he wanted, whether he, what he wanted was good or not.

Accidental Tech Podcast
676: A Sternly Worded Instruction

There was no dilly dallying and no real committees.

Accidental Tech Podcast
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.

Accidental Tech Podcast
676: A Sternly Worded Instruction

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.

Accidental Tech Podcast
676: A Sternly Worded Instruction

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

Accidental Tech Podcast
676: A Sternly Worded Instruction

I mean, in some respects, like the designers should have the most sway here.

Accidental Tech Podcast
676: A Sternly Worded Instruction

You can give your opinions and whatever, but like in the end.

Accidental Tech Podcast
676: A Sternly Worded Instruction

But unfortunately, org chart wise, everybody on that list is above Molly Anderson, who are the only actual designers.

Accidental Tech Podcast
676: A Sternly Worded Instruction

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

overriding Steve LeMay and Molly Anderson.
