I encourage more CEOs to come on and do what the Intuit CEO did.

That would make my day.

Yeah, look, I read the comments.

We read all the emails.

I get the criticism that this sometimes feels like free publicity for people who are just trying to increase the ferocity of the capitalist hellhole in which we all live.

Okay.

I think my job as a reporter, my job as a person who runs this newsroom is to ask the questions as directly as I can.

And look, I started my career without any access at all.

I started as a journalist making $12 a post writing about SD cards for Engadget, a division of AOL.

And that might have been when I was happiest, to be perfectly honest with all of you.

Nick has actually been a reporter in our newsroom.

I'm like, we should write about SD cards more all the time.

It's a recurring theme since the last 10 years.

Being a gadget blogger might be where my heart is.

I do not care about the access.

I really don't.

I think access is poison.

I think it changes your worldview.

It warps your incentives.

And my firm belief is that the less access you need, the more you get.
