Conversely, Woz started numerous companies after parting ways with Jobs, and I can't think of a single one that had a lasting impact.
- bigstrat2003 1y agoIt's not really a level playing field to compare Jobs running an established company with a devoted fan base, to Woz starting companies from nothing. One is much easier than the other.
- cma 1y agoWhen Jobs was fired by Apple, he started NeXT (platform where the web was developed) and Pixar. The Apple desktop platform, one of the existing products referenced, still has a lot of heritage from NeXT. I think Jobs was an asshole too but he did start outside companies that did well and still have a major lasting contribution today.
