Don’t look now but @servicenow is worth nearly $22B more than Workday. That is pretty impressive for a ‘help desk’ company. Just looking back at the Wikibon archives and I found this from 2009 - a lot of people said we were too agressive on the $NOW TAM - looks like we were light

As an acquirer the former HP had many high profile failures - @HPE has actually been a sharp & prudent acquirer. Aruba has been a grand slam (before Antonio was CEO but he was involved), Cray gives HPE differentiation. 4 acquisitions this year in AIOps, AI tools, security & 5G

@NaveenGRao I would argue Intel peaked in 2011 & didn't know it. That's the year PC volumes & x86 peaked (not withstanding the COVID boost). Arm designs became the dominant volume platform thanks to Apple, leading to shared SRAM for CPU, GPU, NPU, LPU...resetting the performance curve

On a plane headed to #SnowflakeSummit . Here's my thinking: The account data continues to soften for $SNOW. New logos appear down & a higher %age of companies are reporting flat and down spending on SNOW. Remember, Snow doesn't incentivize sales reps to go after new logos.
