People love to criticize Tim Cook and call themselves contrarian. Here’s an actual take: Tim Cook executed one of the hardest transitions in corporate history. It’s easy to say “he’s no Steve Jobs.” Of course he isn’t. No one could be. Taking over Apple after Jobs was literally an impossible task. And yet, Tim scaled Apple into a $3T empire and shipped category-defining products including the AirPods, Apple Watch, M1 chip, and Vision Pro. You can disagree with his focus on operations (take as old as time) but you can’t deny that Tim Cook deserves an extraordinary amount of credit. People forget: Steve handpicked Tim. And if you claim to respect Steve’s genius, you have to respect the genius of that choice.

Growing up in Silicon Valley, I believed tech was meant to democratize opportunity and accelerate human progress. The early ethos of the Valley wasn’t just about building profitable products, but about shifting the trajectory of lives and societies. There was idealism, for sure, but also a serious belief that technical breakthroughs should serve human success. But somewhere along the way, parts of the industry traded vision for vanity. As capital flooded into tech, incentives shifted. Virality began to outpace value. The goalposts moved from solving hard, important problems to maximizing engagement, retention, and monetization. Today some of the brightest minds are pulled towards optimizing ad clicks and frictionless dopamine loops. Why? (Insert disclaimer: The issue isn’t the people). Innovation isn’t dead. (Insert disclaimer again: Many technologists are building remarkable human-centered tools.) It’s worth asking again and again: What is worth building? And who is it truly for?

Y’all ever meet the love of your life and then boom you meet another one
