There are fewer and fewer 'David Cutler' types and more and more 'Pavan Davuluri' types at Microsoft. Wonder if the blame is really down to AI or indeed a lack of attention to detail from a new kind of workforce.

'David Cutler' types are definitely not popular, in his prime time or in nowadays. My only regret is that I have never worked under such a person.
