Apple just got a new CEO — and for the first time since Steve Jobs, it's a builder, not a businessman.
John Ternus is Apple's new CEO, and as someone who grew up on Power Mac G5s and Final Cut Pro, who watched Apple create entire industries with the iPod, iPhone, MacBook Air and iPad — and who eventually left the Apple ecosystem entirely — I have a lot of thoughts.
In this video I break down:
How Apple went from the most iconic product company on Earth to a subscription machine
Why Tim Cook's legacy is iPhone colors, stock buybacks and political theater — not innovation
The real failures: Apple Watch design, Vision Pro, abandoned Mac Pro users with no migration path
What John Ternus MUST do as Apple's new CEO — wearables, macOS on iPad, touch MacBooks, powerful Macs
Why an engineer at the top changes everything
Apple has the best engineering team on the planet. They have the cash. They have the users. They just needed a builder running the show.
One company that is bolstering Kubernetes virtualization is Loft Labs with their open-source project, vCluster. More than 40 million virtual clusters have been created since the project was open sourced in 2021, but one of the most requested integrations since its inception has been with Rancher. In this video recorded at KubeCon in Paris, Loft Labs CEO Lukas Gentele talks about their latest announcement.
It's really good to see GitHub embracing the work that GitLab has been doing for a while (more than 5 years) now. While its healthy competition, it also shows how Open Source companies/projects like GitLab are ahead of proprietary companies and in fact lead the industry with their innovation.

Is this Apple's last chance? I think so.
