- mikeash 11y agoI think it's only cliche because it's highly pertinent.
- malandrew 11y agoI'm curious if steve would get personally involved in when stories like this get a lot of attention on any influential site. For some reason, I can imagine him going down to the group responsible for a high profile fuckup and firing someone over the problem. That alone would probably serve as motivation (not a good source of motivation, but motivation nonetheless) for people to be more careful about the quality of the software they write. His mercurial and toxic way of dealing with things he's not happy about may have kept quality higher.
- a_c_s 11y agoIt is cliche because it is inane: plenty of stupid things happened under his watch. If you want to see software complaints from his era, just look up iTunes for Windows.
