Steve Jobs is the visible topic! You don't have to bring up Woz or any of the other countless engineers to still admire his genius-- you don't have to be an engineer to be a genius-- and common ignorance about the nuance of the story doesn't make for an incorrect story. Of course there were other brilliant people involved, and they are celebrated, without qualification, in the circles which understand their work. Is it tiresome to hear about Jobs? Yeah, I'm over it. But you know what's worse are the people coming back with the idea that the managers are all leaches. You don't work in a vacuum. You are not capable of accomplishing it all on your own. And guess what? Steve Jobs was capable of things that most people are not. Criticize him for taking the aesthetic and not the architecture from PARC. Criticize him for creating locked platforms and eschewing FOSS. Criticize him on any number of substantive topics, but don't let's bog down every moment of cultural hero worship just because they didn't choose the guy with our job title. The engineers get their time.
