This doesn't necessarily invalidate the advice, but Steve Jobs clearly did not abide but it (would critique icons at the pixel level, etc.), so it is demonstrably not universal advice for building successful companies.
- jypepin 10y agoTrue, but I don't think the advice is about building a successful company but more about being a successful manager - which Steve Jobs was definitely not as he was famous for being a tirant.

- abalone 10y ago> sj only critiqued things that he genuinely felt needed to be changed Which included incredibly detailed nuances like pixel-level critiques of icons and UIs, which is literally what the author defines as "your 2 cents". > demonstrably the worst manager one could have so I wouldn't draw too many conclusions from him Except how to build one of the most valuable companies in the world? Seems like a fair criterion for good management.
