What a disgusting human being he was. The world is not black and white. There is no clear cut delineation between the 'good' and the 'bad'. We live in a world of subtly and nuance, where people can do good things while also doing immensely shitty things. Jobs was a fantastic business leader. He was instrumental in the founding and running of several wildly successful companies (Apple, Next, Pixar, and Apple again). His vision for Apple products shaped a decade of tech and continues to affect product design long after he passed away. He was the epitome of what makes a brilliant CEO. He was an asshole. No doubt. He was an asshole who got some amazing things done though. You don't have to like him to recognize that, and you don't have to like him to want to learn about, and even emulate, the admirable bits.
