Every time I've interacted with someone from IBM I've found myself questioning how they've managed to continue being a company. Have you looked at their public facing offerings lately? Watson is garbage, IBM cloud is garbage. They're losing ground on pretty much everything that is a modern revenue driver and they're best offering is their IT services.

Their strategy and execution are quite poor.

Every time I've interacted with someone from IBM

What percentage of IBM's 362,000 employees have you interacted with that is statistically meaningful?

Have you looked at their public facing offerings lately?

Only two of them. They were impressive. But you and I are looking at different offerings, probably in different market segments.

They're losing ground on pretty much everything that is a modern revenue driver

And yet, its income was up almost ten billion dollars last year. Seems like IBM knows very well how to drive revenue.

IBM has hundreds of products. I suggest you expand your view beyond the very few that are critiqued on HN.

Ah you see I've interacted with some of their leadership which was enough for me, whether that is enough to be meaningful I suppose is a matter up for interpretation.

Fair point otherwise.
