Steve may have changed the world, and Andy would have made a lot of money... but life is too short - I promised myself to never work for an asshole ever again and so I cringed watching these two in the video glorify Steve's asshole behavior.
If Steve leaned over to me and changed price during negotiation, or told me to fire everyone who didn't want to move from Boston to Cupertino (if that wasn't part of the original deal), I would have walked.
But that laugh, saying a project would have taken 6 months but only given 4 weeks... stop glorifying martyrdom people!
- mempko 5y agoThe problem with people in general is we don't know how to deal with sociopaths. Unfortunately we seem to glorify them here on HN. As a computer person who loves them, Steve made them worse not better. We live in a world where most computers are now locked down, spyware laden, ad serving, micro transaction sucking, subscription rent seeking, pieces of garbage. When I look at iPhones and iPads I get sad for the children.
