Microsoft Inspires a Fresh Meme
May 8, 2019
I read the “two r’s and two s’s” person’s article “Microsoft’s Satya Nadella Throws the Doors Open Ahead of Build.” Tucked in the write up is the phrase “talented nerd.” Here’s the passage:
When asked about diversity and inclusion, Nadella insists that the whole notion of giving the “talented jerk” a pass is over. “That’s done,” he says. “In 2019, to succeed, I hope anybody joining this industry starts by saying, ‘I want to be great by honing my skills, but I want to create energy around me where people of all genders and ethnicities can contribute.’”
About whom is Microsoft speaking? The Google founders, the Twitter person, or the Zuck? Perhaps it is the head of Windows 10 updates?
