I wish the cult of personality would go away, and instead of credit going to an individual we could say, "innovators like Facebook, Microsoft, Apple and Tesla/SpaceX".
- deepnet 10y agoI agree with opposing a cult of leaders getting credit, but replacing it with corporate credit ? There is a long unjust tradition of stealing deserved credit from engineers, employees & research assistants[1]. Sometimes individuals are solely resposible for important ideas and implementations, credit should be accorded accurately to teams and individuals. [1] Jocelyn Bell, discoverer of radio-pulsars, robbed of the Nobel by her research supervisor, stealing credit for it. Avoiding personalities should we merely say radio-pulsars were discovered at Jodrell Bank ? Seems less accurate, IMHO.
