And the reason Steve Jobs DID start one of the most influential and powerful corporations on this planet was because he was such a brilliant computer science theorist. Or are we getting our logic all backwards and sideways here?
- bad_user 14y agoWould Apple still exist without Wozniak? Nobody knows, which is why such arguments are always about sour grapes and nothing more. I do have high expectations from engineers who should be knowledgeable enough to know that revolutions and hurricanes happen not because of a single reason, but because of a sequence of events and fortunes that happen at the same time, and if you analyze this, trying to get to the root of what led to the rise of an industry, you'll end-up like Mandelbrot, discovering fractals, which is otherwise in the curriculum of universities these days.

- jlgreco 14y agoThe question is less "Can a company like Apple function without a Woz" and more "Can a company like Apple form without a Woz". To 'test' this theory it would be better to find an Apple-like company that formed without an obviously Woz-like figure. I think there are several examples of varying quality.
- rmc 14y agoWell look at Apple's return to power in the last ~ 10 years. That happened when Jobs, not Woz, came back.
