34 years of not Becoming Steve Jobs

A nice, unique, and personal perspective from the blog of an ex-Intel exec and tech veteran. What makes this man (Jobs) so alluring? Are we all jealous? The man was a force; he made things happen. How was he so successful at it? It wasn’t just because of his vision, or his personality, or his timing.

I wish government and other industries would learn from this. Steve jobs famously said (must watch interview by the way) that a 2x better bus driver doesn’t get you there 2x faster. That’s not true in some fields, like his, where a 25x software programmer (they really exist) could equal billions more in revenue.
