JOBS CREATED INTERFACE BUILDER IN 20,000 LINES OF ASSEMBLY HOW DARE YOU
He also wrote the entirety of the NeXTSTEP developer docs on scrolls in his kitchen.
Despite the abstract level where Jobs usually lives, it's interesting to note just what a hardon he had for OOP back in the day:
"With our technology, with objects, literally three people in a garage can blow away what 200 people at Microsoft can do. Literally can blow it away. Corporate America has a need that is so huge and can save them so much money, or make them so much money, or cost them so much money if they miss it, that they are going to fuel the object revolution."

With his usual flair, he almost implies in the quote that NeXT invented OOP altogether.
Jobs seems to have a nose for the things that matter. Especially meaningful stuff that would escape most traditional business guys.
