    Maybe, but then you also have people like my brother who basically worship Jobs, and say shit like “Wozniak is expendable.”

    I told him people like Wozniak are the real geniuses who actually make shit work, and he told me straight faced that without people like Jobs people like Wozniak will probably just have a desk job.

      People that worship psuedo intellectuals like Jobs are just coping with that fact that they’re less intelligent. Sales dudes love having sales rule over engineering. I’d go as far to say it’s difficult to be a decent human being and in sales at the same time.

      You need a desk to place the components on to build the computer and then to place the computer on, to do the programming.

      I’d say, even with Jobs, Wozniak had a desk job.


      Of course, unless you use a projector or floor-stands for the monitors and keep the keyboard+mouse on your lap, in which case, you can get away from the desk.
