If they were paid for their actual time (i.e. something like overtime) they would have made in excess of $25K and could have invested it wherever. That they happened to work at Apple and it did what it did was a little lucky. I think Jobs was a special and good leader in many ways, but also a total jerk. Imagine if Jobs were to have kept notes and been more coherent in his feedback i.e. "I don't like the menus. Don't distract the team now but analyze it, and I want a plan for adjust them in X weeks. Then, push it into the schedule". There may actually be some benefit in keeping your devs. on a 1 or 2 weeks sprint dogleash but I doubt it. Keeping them on pace but not needlessly diverting them is good. And Hardware leaders not understanding refactoring is bad. I mean, we never really estimate it well, but still. I think it shows us how far marketing goes with respect to how we understand a company as much as it's products.
