Unhinged rant for your entertainment: Woz was the visionary in that he designed all the early Apple computers and made the technical innovations that made Apple a company in the first place. Jobs was a vibes giver that made demands, not products. I fucking hate people who call people in tech who did almost none of the engineering the “visionaries” behind the brand. Like, no, any idiot can make something look pretty and marketable, unless that same idiot made it actually work they didn’t do shit. And he inspired an entire generation of “entrepeneurs” who think their one page “idea” (which god forbid you ever need to ask them to clarify any details on) makes them smarter and superior to the workers who produced hundreds of thousands of pages of planning and prototyping, engineering drawings, code, etc etc, and did the actual QA testing to ensure they weren’t shipping sleek looking paperweights. And yet they talk down to those workers and demand they worship them. YOU should be worshipping the people who actually turned your prized idea from useless words and vibes to a real product you can actually sell, they made YOUR dream come true. Jobs should be the kind of people AI replaces, yet it’s people like Woz that are losing their jobs.
