I thought so too until I read a Stratechery interview that painted a pretty bad portrait of her time at Sony [0].

Why, because 90% of her job is talking to and appeasing shareholders, grand standing with fat whales, and what else.. what do you think a CEO at these companies actually does? They aren't in the trenches of each subdivision nurturing and cracking whips. She likely attends a 2 hour briefing with a line item: CUDA parity project: on schedule release date not set | ||||||||

And why do you think that? Have you worked with her personally, or is it maybe because Fortune spent a decade preaching "women in tech" regardless of what those women may actually be doing? | ||||||||
