Articles like this are so easy to write after the event. It would be a lot more compelling of an article if it had been published a year ago and had instead predicted what was going to happen given what the author claimed was obvious at the time. Fact is Intel was in a really tough situation and Pat seemed to many (including many here) like the best candidate at the time to be able to turn things around, with the acknowledgement that the situation was dire and there might be nothing anyone could do to save it.
- bcantrill 2y agoThere are reasons I didn't write this a year ago (perhaps obvious ones?), but yes, it was pretty clear. And in fact, in going back through my own timeline, I found a DM between my co-founder and me on March 23, 2023 in which I predicted that Gelsinger would be fired on November 1, 2024 -- and my co-founder predicted March 1, 2025.
- notthetup 2y agoAnd you didn't mention this in the tech predictions episode of 2023 for Oxide and Friends?! You missed a great one!
- CodeHorizon 2y agoClaiming a prediction after the fact is convenient. It’d be more impressive if these predictions were shared beforehand, Bryan.
- bcantrill 2y agoSorry, are you accusing me of lying? I mean, I do have the receipts here...
- trogdor 2y agoI don’t think they are accusing you of lying. >It’d be more impressive if these predictions were shared beforehand It’s hard to disagree with that. Based on your comment above, it sound like “the receipts” are messages between you and one other person. Messaging a prediction to a friend is very different than publishing it for the world to see.
