Satya Nadella’s AI Rewire: RIP Old CEOs, Hello ‘Marginal Cost’ Magic

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella dropped some hard truths at GitHub Universe, October 2025, right in Redmond, Washington – apparently the new Silicon Valley baptism pool. 'The product development process is completely getting ripped and replaced,' he says, as if Microsoft’s decades of surviving internet and cloud revolutions weren’t enough masochism. He warns the AI era introduces 'true marginal cost software,' meaning code now multiplies for free—goodbye paycheck justification! Nadella recalls shifting from 98-99% gross-margin servers to uncertain cloud moolah, describing it as a financial tightrope worthy of circus clowns. His sage advice? CEOs must unlearn like their jobs depend on it—because, spoiler, they do—starting with younger devs who come pre-equipped with GitHub Copilot like it’s their birthright.
