The Lisa incident was pretty much the lowest point for Jobs, in terms of him being an asshole. It's often brought up as an example of how horrible he was. However, he was young when it happened, he later regretted it and he did mature over the years (some people say that when he was fired from Apple, that was what fixed him) so it doesn't feel particularly fair to use it to characterise him later in life. That said, there were more recent incidents showing him to be a bit of an ass too.
- yitchelle 11y agoThanks for the clarification. For someone like me who is not so involve in the Silicon Valley scene, it was the first time I have heard about the Lisa incident. I have also heard about some snippets from the Walter Issacson's Jobs biography (not read) how tough he is on his own family. As someone else mention, we are all humnan. As humans, we are all somekind of assholes one way or another, one of our aims in life is minimise its affect on others.
