So you would've told Steve Jobs to get lost?
- yousifa 10y agoI'm not sure, I know of him, never knew him. Just because someone is going to be successful, doesn't make them a good cofounder fit. I also want to clarify what I mean by lack of ego. I mean it in the sense of an individual never thinking they know enough about something and refuse to learn.
- ai_ia 10y agoSteve Jobs was never a good co-founder. Steve Woz was a decent person but Jobs was just behaved insane. He might be good at what he does, but he was not a good co-founder.
- WhitneyLand 10y agoHe was a fantastic co-founder. He succeeded beyond imagination. If we want to say it would be difficult/stressful to work with him that's fair. But at what point do you not optimize for success, for example: Steve Jobs - Asshole score: 85%, Success probability: 95% Nice guy - Asshole score: 10%, Success probability: 70% Given these stats would you really partner with #2 Nice guy?
