I really cannot understand this kind of behavior coming from a smart, adult person. Crying over a badge number? Doesn't it reveal a deeply troubled personality

I really cannot understand this kind of behavior coming from a smart, adult person.
Crying over a badge number? Doesn't it reveal a deeply troubled personality?
Or am I just too naive and Jobs actually understood the importance of being first?

I remember we had a school headmaster who did a great job in taking the school in a new direction, but he was a sexist, choleric maniac with little self control and a lot of irrational behaviour. These thinga don’t necessarily exclude each other

- otabdeveloper4 7y agoSeems he was right. People undeservedly think Jobs was "the inventor of the computer and the phone", and little touches of bullshit like that went a great deal to form that image.
