Disclaimer: many years in devdiv I unfortunately have far more mixed feelings. I've found the hot reload fiasco to be representative of a pattern of decisions coming out of Julia's leadership org. This is not the first casualty, although it was the most visible. I did not find her to be approachable either, surface friendly and professional, to be clear, but not approachable; I would however give the strong caveats that this is obviously a subjective opinion likely biased due to professional disagreement. To try and be additionally fair, I do not think these are unique qualities to a specific (V)P, just that I often find leadership at that level to be disconnected and have an agenda that doesn't sit well with me even if I may see the rationale. Most people I would like to see in CVP/President roles are not in (and often do not seek) those positions.
