They’re only human. They need praise too.
Then, there’s Apple CEO Tim Cook. Yes, he’s trying to fight for the primacy of privacy. A greater mission, however, is to keep on insisting that the iPad Pro is a computer, until someone believes it. That deserves only the the deepest bow of respect.
While our heads are bent low, let’s leave them there in honor of Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella. He uses more intelligible sets of words than Dorsey, and has managed to perfect the art of being entirely likable while leaving you little idea of what he really thinks.

I have one remaining hosanna. It’s for Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff. He’s been the loudest and most cogent critic of, well, his own kind. In just the last few weeks he’s declared that AI should be a human right and insisted that San Francisco is “a train wreck” because of the tech industry.
He also ditched his iPhone and iPad, which brought him the stunning revelation that he works too hard.
Praise him, praise him.
Way to go, tech leaders. Here’s to another year for you to earn even more praise.
