(Who says Elephants can’t Dance.) Why did Lou say something so utterly counter-intuitive? It was because he didn’t have enough information at that time to form a strategy. He spent the next year gathering knowledge from customers, employees, and suppliers to identify what made IBM great. Then he created the strategy to reinforce the notion that IBM’s strength came from its ability to craft and deliver multi-national, complex solutions and support these solutions once delivered. The strategy was supported by the creation of two divisions, services, and software. The value proposition (and margins) rescued IBM.

You think you know a person, and then you find out they use emacs. I am constantly surprised by our team! What made you want to become a software engineer? And why did you apply to Tidal? I’ve always loved computers & technology and I’ve always been curious about learning how things worked. As I’ve gotten older I’ve also discovered the love of problem-solving. For me, being a developer is a perfect intersection of those three interests.
