Are you sure they werent talking about the other Steve? Are there any stories or examples from your co-workers? I've also only ever heard good things about him as a human and engineer.
- testfrequency 1y agoNobody calls Woz “Steve”, he’s almost always referred to as Woz.
- ProAm 1y agoAnd no one says Woz is not to be trusted or insane... so I was just curious about the stories you heard. Where as people have said insane and untrustworthy about Jobs.
- testfrequency 1y agoI’m not sharing those stories for sake of privacy. Also, I actually never heard any stories like that about Steve. Steve was more or less: don’t talk to him, don’t make eye contact with him, don’t take the same elevator as him. Obviously, the public had their opinions and stories of Steve..but generally, I never experienced much commentary on Steve. Woz, meanwhile, always felt like a punching bag for Apple employees on the off chance his name came up in conversation.
- kridsdale1 1y agoSounds like I worked in Infinite Loop at a similar time to you. Everything you say above about Steve is identical to what I was told to do regarding “SJ”.
- ProAm 1y agoThat's wild to talk about a guy like that who hasn't been actively working on product for a long long time.

Were people complaining about the legacy of his work for Apple which ended in the eighties, or something more contemporary about Woz's public life?
