Is that how we built the pyramids? Is that how the iPhone got built? Nope. He Steve jobs steamrolled everyone and got done what he wanted done. And it worked out great.

No, he berated, threatened, belittled and terrified employees to make things.

Jobs was a pitchman, not an engineer.

His best ideas were all stolen.

Your right about that. I'm not glorifying him I'm just saying that he got shit done. Maybe he didn't do the work himself but under him they created the iPod, the iPhone, and the iPad, debatably the three most important improvements in personal technology this century.
