The behind the bastards episode will teach you a lot about this piece of shit. Wozniak is the genius, this is just another predatory businessman. Good riddance.
I mean, fucking up is a common thing people do and is an integral part of the human condition. What should be emphasized about Jobs case is that he fucked up his own liver, learned the cause and treatments, used his wealth to cut in the waiting line to get a liver transplant, and then fucked his second liver just the same way. This is the definition of terminally stupid, and no UX focus will ever change that.
Being rich makes you so divorced from consequences that you start to believe that what is in your brain is what is real. Money isn't what we think it is.
Also bought his way up the organ donor list even after he took so long ignoring it, passing over a bunch of people who should have had claim to it and some who died instead, all just so he could die anyway because he took too long to get treatment. Failed so hard multiple people died.
Only fanboys. The same kind that worship Musk or any other fellated-by-the-press CEO as some kind of hero. They softball any criticisms and turn them into positives - âHe murdered a bunch of kids, but the creativity he got from the blood splatter and time spent in court-ordered community service got us this addictive device weâre all fawning overâŚletâs justify the ridiculous price and wait in line for one!â Something about objectively shitty people heading up organizations seems to attract sycophants and bootlickers.
Back on the old site on one of those text based subreddits there was a question posted:
Would you rather have free WiFi wherever you go, or any apple product you wish at any time.
My (then unrotted) brain was like: mmh WiFi everywhere is good, but apple cake, apple pie, apple sauce, apple spritz, apple cider, apple strudel, dried apples...
Yeah I'm going with apple products
I'd be far more interested in learning more about the other folks on the Macintosh team. They're an amazing group of people who put a lot of care into something they believed in, Steve Jobs notwithstanding. What they did with what they had was amazing, and the fact that they got lost in Jobs' spotlight is tragic.
being smart at something doesn't mean youre smart at everything. not that im saying that jobs was smart, but its not a given. e.g how there are scientists who are anti-vax
It's unfortunate because his leadership / sense of taste is what made Apple a powerhouse. Under Tim Apple, the software has languished. They're great at hardware and the software is far from great. What a shame.
Dying elevates any career. It happens in sports all the time, a dead player is praised above better, still living players from their era. Senna and Prost come to mind
It's possible to be an asshole, selfish, insufferable, cruel, devient or do extraordinarily dumb shit while also being exceptionally intelligent and/or talented .
