Clock-punchers might be harming themselves but it wasn't clock punchers that gave us the iPhone.
- scott_karana 12y agoPassionate people might have lead the iPhone project, but there were assuredly many, many clock-punchers implementing the massive set of standard libraries available on the platform, writing specs and documentation, creating visual assets, sounds, etc.
