The point is that Steve Jobs, just as the rest of us, was standing on the shoulders of giants. So why then do we obsess over him and not others? Why is he any more important than Dennis Ritchie?
- shabadoop 13y agoBy that logic, why is Dennis Ritchie any more important than Steve Jobs?
- justicezyx 13y agoIt's not about Ritchie is/not more important, it's about Ritchie did not get the honor and people's appreciate he deserves. Think about it, Jobs did great work with an big company, and he almost claimed all credit of Apple's works himself. While Ritchie did all his work (clearly more important than Jobs) with more self-reliance.
