Great post Sarbjeet Johal. I give credit to Jensen and NVIDIA for always staying true to this philosophy. Even when they were ā€œjust a graphics companyā€ NVIDIA has always been focused on devs. This is the moat that they leverage with CUDA.

Great to hear from Arvind Krishna at IBM at #IBMthink2025. ā€œTechnology is the source of competitive advantageā€ agree. Think about the speed of AI development. Remember when the narrative from @MITTechReview was ā€œIT doesn’t matterā€ seems pretty silly now.

Great conversation with Arvind Krishna at IBM Think about services. He posited that in the future consulting companies will charge for human AND digital workers. The digital workers will bring immense scale to the consulting model. Agree.

I’m sorry, I just don’t get the ā€œclose the window shadeā€ while flying movement. I am not an Amazon box šŸ“¦. If this thing is going down, I want to see it.
