It's definitely true that Gates and successors at Microsoft were techies who didn't give a fuck about aesthetic refinement to the software and had no interest in the hardware.the fact that all our 21st century IT is so nice in both SW and HW is definitely Jobs (and I'm typing this on an iPhone) ![]() I don't know.I remember thinking he was insane to go all in on a tablet since they'd been around for years and no one cared, now I have 2 iPads at home.so maybe? ![]() This is all straight out of his official biography he had someone wrote as he was dying. ![]() Internally at Apple they even had a name for it - 'Steve's reality distortion field' ie he would just refuse to accept reality and just keep screaming at everyone until they invented what he wanted. Right time and right place meant a lot and some very talented people who were followers were happy for him to take the lead.Įssentially, he saw already existing products from other companies that weren't very refined, had high level ideas on how to make them better, then screamed at Apple engineers until they invented and made work what he wanted. ![]() He didn't invent or code any IT product past the first Apple PC in the late 1970s and even then didn't do that much.
