"You're full of shit."
Which great innovator isn't?
Seriously, think about what goes into it. You have to believe that you are capable of changing the reigning viewpoint, that almost everybody else in the field is wrong. Without an epic ego, great innovators would never get started.
- hugh 18y agoYour comment seems to be more relevant to your own issues than to the actual story, but let me just point out that the "Steve Jobs" character in the story (let's ignore the question of whether or not it's actually true) isn't demonstrating an "epic ego" at all. He's being cloyingly sycophantic. What does a man with an epic ego say when he meets Donald Knuth? Probably "Hi, nice to meet you".
