Sam is a scary good guy. But I’ve also learned to never underestimate Microsoft. They’ve been playing the game a long long time.

No snark/sarcasm - can you elaborate on this? This doesn't seem in line with most opinions of him that I encounter.

He’s a billionaire. He generated billions and billions as the head of YC. He’s the head of one of the most visible and talked about companies on the planet. He’s leading the forefront of some of the most transformative technology in human history.

He’s good at what he does. I’m not saying he’s a good person. I don’t know him.
