Sculley seems to be saying the following about Jobs:
- Straddles the line of micromanagement vs. personal communication with workers. (Interested in every detail of the process.)
- Acknowledged all workers (memorized first names of Mac team).
- Directly communicated with all workers. Example was telling developer that their code isn't good enough.
- Is a perfectionist.
- Kept teams small (Mac team limited to 100) and fired people if needed new talent on the team to keep team to that size (enforced accountability).
- Hired well.
- Focused on simplification.
- Got rid of the bad.

- wallflower 16y agoWrong thread reply. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1790566 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1790566 And, not to get too deep, this might point out why my not-so-wonky friends get confused when I abruptly thread cut and bring up a new topic in conversation. They're usually like 'Huh?'
- devmonk 16y agoThanks for the link. I swear that I clicked on the right thread. I wonder if HN is moving so fast now that it is either easier to post to the wrong thread somehow, or it is actually posting to the wrong thread. Or maybe I'm just getting old!
- devmonk 16y agoWTF- this is not the thread I posted to, I swear. I'm sorry.
- jacquesm 16y agoI've seen that happen before.
