Here is the particular passage I was refering to:
> And most important of all (with the emphasis itself being a reflection of hard-won wisdom), we three share deeply-held values [....] — and employees will be proud to work for.
> And I've never seen him take down people, except Larry Ellison, maybe, only code, technology,
Somebody wrote that code, or built that technology.
Note this is nothing to do with whether the code is rubbish or not, it's a about a communication style and a mindset that doesn't care or think about the person behind that code.
I'm sure he didn't mean it, but the endless taking down appeared to get to some of his colleagues, and perhaps because he didn't mean it, he didn't realize until it was pointed out to him.

There is nothing in there to support your claim, particularly considering that the deeply-held values that are then listed are the ones he has always proclaimed. In particular, the fact that Candour is the first value listed somewhat (though not completely) contradicts your claim. > Somebody wrote that code, or built that technology. Yes. I refer you back to egoless programming and "you are not your code". And candour.
