Woz is extraordinary lucky that he has a legacy (and a lot of money). Clearly the bulk of the credit goes to Jobs. And it seems more than likely that if not Woz, Jobs would have found someone else.
- jibal 1y agoIt's clear to me that is false. It was Steve's engineering brilliance that made their success possible.
- JKCalhoun 1y agoAt that point in his career, I'm not sure who else would have had Jobs ;-). From the outside it looks like the opposite though: Jobs was latching on to everything Woz created — beginning with Blue boxes. (Well, not everything Woz created — Jobs seemed uninterested in his dial-a-joke project.) Woz is indeed truly lucky that Jobs did partner with him. Jobs saw that it was worth going all in (financially) to push the Apple to the masses. Woz seems like the type that would have remained a hobbyist — perhaps doing a write-up about his "Apple" for Popular Electronics. Jobs too was extraordinarily lucky he had a smart friend who was just on the cusp of the budding personal computer revolution. A lot of "survivorship" bias too since there were plenty of also-rans at the time.
