Perhaps I was a little too harsh on Sam and Dave in this episode when I accused them each of blindly following their favorite tech CEO. But that's part of the fun of More or Less, where we give you our real views on people and companies—and call each other out on our quirks.
I enjoyed this episode very much. It's the kind of discussion and debate that looks back—and ahead—and makes me excited about all to come in tech. Transcript after the links.
I hope you enjoy!
