Jobs was a designer, not an engineer. Wozniak was the software developer for Steve Jobs. It isn't that Steve Jobs was a joke of an engineer so much as Steve Jobs was not an engineer. He was a charismatic leader who inspires people to push themselves to and potentially past the breaking point. When you can inspire people to push themselves harder than they would push themselves normally, you tend to see a lot of greatness. The way he did it was basically to be a sociopath however, which is unfortunate for all who worked directly with him.
