>Another great insight from him is that companies go downhill once a sales person runs it, not a product person.
Here's the video if anyone hasn't seen it [1], think it rings so true to Tim Cook's Apple. The purity of the product vision just isn't there anymore and things are actively made worse for the user just to scrape back a few measly dollars: e.g no longer shipping a short power cable with $2000 laptops.
Think it's sad that a lot of the fans of Apple who used to say believe that it doesn't matter if Windows sells more, Mac OS is the better product.
Now if you say anything negative about Tim Cook's Apple you just get told how successful it is as if thats a metric for a good product. Just because something is successful and profitable doesn't mean it's good by following that logic there is literally no reason for the Macintosh to exist, everything before it was already successful and it was actually less successful for decades.
