Let’s savor this one more time: Bill Gates walked into the meeting “riding high” because he acquired patents for malaria treatments. Reality beats satire every time.
Who was “him” that Bill says was fucked?
Presumably whoever was in charge of .NET? Weird writing around that.
The podcast source transcript has more context. Apparently “him” was whoever was in charge of MSBNx, an unrelated, Bayesian Network thing, which Bill Gates was also obsessed with.
That was really a fantastic read!
If someone around you looks down on Indian developers, you can remind them that Windows became remotely usable thanks to AI… That is, “Actually Indians.”
Is that statement supposed to help Indians?
I think it’s playing on the joke that many ai companies will just lie about the ai and contract the work to actual Indians
Powershell (and nushell) is great. The concept of piping and manipulating objects instead of text is so comfortable. Having types is also great.
Administrating Windows would be a nightmare without it.
