I’m not fan of Jobs but people are so eager to shit on him and hoist up “poor forgotten Wozniak” that they ignore all the credit and praise Wozniak himself gives Jobs.
Yeah, but a lot of that praise is because Jobs did what Woz couldn't... On the other hand, Woz did what no one else could.
I have the deepest respect for Woz but yes once in a while jobs had interesting ideas that people that wasn’t possible because he had some engineering sense and understood what was/wasn’t reasonable to ask for in a product (Unfortunately that is not how he behaved with people, hence why he is rightfully remembered as a sociopath of the worst order).
It’s one thing to ask for the impossible because you’re ignorant/arrogant and not considering what is actually feasible. But Jobs’s track record was actually pretty good when it came to calling for things that people were skeptical of yet were absolutely possible, as evidence d by the products they would put to market. The iPod was considered a moonshot at one time.
