But it turned out to be the #best#tablet I have used. Stable, fast and really well built. I am actually looking forward to the next #surface .
Great job @Microsoft and the @surface team.
P.S. please don’t let anyone from the Outlook team move to this team :)
Most tech reviews feel very shallow to me. Someone uses a device for a few days and then basically reviews the spec sheet.
I trust sites like @notebookcheck more because they actually go deeper technically, but even that is not the same as using something every day for years.
I had a Samsung Windows tablet before this and after about a year it was almost unusable. It got slow, had driver issues and Windows updates started becoming a problem.
So honestly I did not expect much from the Surface.
Imagine you're John Carmack
you're 22 years old and you just wrote a 3D engine in assembly that runs at 35fps on a 486
Doom drops. Quake drops. Half the planet is playing your code.
you're the reason GPUs exist. you're the reason your friend Jensen has a yacht today.
then in 2009, you sell id Software. people call it betrayal. you call it "they made an offer I couldn't refuse."
VR obsession. Oculus. Meta buys it for $2B. you're CTO.
but Meta thinks you're a liability. your demos are "too intense." your emails are "too long." your focus on frame timing is "slowing us down."
2022. they push you out. not fired officially. just "restructured."
the media writes "end of an era." some crypto bro calls you "washed up."
silicon valley moves on.
but you don't.
you don't write a book. you don't start a podcast. you don't collect speaking fees.
you go completely quiet.
you take the money. you buy a warehouse in Texas. you hire 10 engineers. and you start coding.
not games. not VR.
AGI.
two years. radio silence. no tweets. no conference talks.
while everyone's debating ChatGPT, you're debugging CUDA kernels at 3AM, testing world models.
then in 2025, Keen Technologies pivots hard. you're not "exploring" anymore. you're building it.
here's what people get wrong:
everyone calls it a comeback. a redemption arc. "revenge on Meta."
it's none of that.
you're a 54-year-old engineer who still codes 12 hours a day because you genuinely can't stop.
most CTOs would have bought an island. most legends would have written memoirs.
you just kept typing.
the most dangerous person in any codebase is the one who goes quiet and never stops shipping commits.
karma doesn't need to be real.
but obsession is.
welcome back, Carmack.
Make trading fun again.
