How did he do it?
figuring out how to use technology to make products people want, getting the funding and people to do it, picking winners and losers with your capital… it’s all non technical skill but absolutely essential to drive tech forward
Basically a user experience tester.
If Steve Wozniak was in charge of making the OS it would just have ended up like Linux. Steve actually knew what people needed.
If you could install macOS on any computer I’m sure it would be the most popular OS in the world.
1. find good ideas
2. find good engineers who can build that shit
3. build that shit
4. sell that shit
5. PROFIT $$$
Probably this pretty much. Figuring out who is talented and honest and pouring money over them is a very valuable skill tbh. Consider the failure case: At worst you get taken for a ride by some scammer, but more common is creating a very taxing bureaucracy to figure out who is better and who is worse, so that even the good guys have to spend half their time gaming the system.
Merchant .Buy low sell high
>2. find good engineers who can build that shit
Why do engineers just don't say "fuck you" to those people and steal their ideas for maximum profit?
Because that involves multiples failures and taking risks.
The complete opposite of an engineer trained by the education system to be a dog following rules and rote learning.
There is no certainty with business and you have to innovate.
There is nothing an engineer hates more than uncertainty and risk.
Engineers are the most risk averse people on the planet and are unfit to run a business.
lmao it's got nothing to do with education and everything to do with money
Most engineers are regular people like you and me who need to work for money RIGHT NOW to pay for the house and family.
Rich kids like Jobs can afford to just take risks on uncertain ventures because worse comes to worse mommy and daddy are paying.
terrible reading comprehension
If there's anything more risk-averse than an engineer, it's a visionless CEO who barely understands his field and whose only actual job is to report growth (or adequately explain any lack thereof) to investors.
Jobs is what every low-effort LULZ shitposter wishes he could be and what every brainlet MBA idea man imagines himself to be: a trend-setter. His key skills were aesthetic taste, persuasive ability and visionary ambition. He wasn't a designer but he could solicit and select good designs from people he hired then sell them to a lucrative market.
And he was in the right place at the right time to capitalize on those skills.
business leaders dont need to come up with good ideas on their own.
they just need to say YES to people with good ideas and NO to people with shit ideas.
sadly this is too difficult for 99% of all companies ever, which is why everything sucks
>You're only allowed to be big in tech business if you can code!
It's that what codecels really believe?
it's pretty hilarious honestly, i picked up in Uni that it was the EEs who at least had some semblance of social dynamics and the CS nerds who thought everyone was an algorithm
Codecels have an inflated sense of importance and believe they're smarter than everyone else.
>Coders are very important because they’re smarter than everyone else
fixed that for you
People who understand tech at better usually, yes. Jobs is the exception because he actually had visionary leadership skill. (Unlike you)
it's called capitalism you dunce
turns out that management does matter
ironically once he dies and apple is handed over to an actual homo the company loses all taste and style
The Steve jobs movie with Aston Kutcher is the worst movie I have ever seen
Psychopaths are good at people.
I've seen pajeets do this at school. They take credit for other people's work. I saw them attaching themselves to projects using titles like producer and manager when they didn't contribute anything.
They didn't last.
same with women
Simple. Tech is not all about LARPing as a coder/designer.
Hes pretty good at marketing and designing manufacturing processes and supply chain stuff.
>How did he do it?
He was a narcissist and a charlatan.
>wrenches for 10 yrs
>not an engineer
>most important figure in automotive field
how did he do it bros
An engineer back then wasn't someone who went through college and got an engineering degree in emerging fields. Too nascent, didn't exist.
My great great grandfather was an electrical engineer by way of working for the colonial electrical company and not killing himself with high voltage DC.
he engineered factories
bro, ashton kutcher never did any of that shit, wtf are you talking about?
Vision. It’s the one thing the best code and number cruncher won’t have. You can max stats in one or the other, and those evenly split aren’t good at either.
The world doesn't change because of the hard work/research of scientists or engineers. It changes because someone funds it. Steve Jobs was a marketing and networking expert that made sure Apple had cash flow by window dressing his products.
Because he was smart (certainly smarter than each and every one of you pseuds) and had natural leadership.
Huge Aryan Cock
>How did he do it?
He was the first person to die of Ligma.
Ligma balls
is LULZ entering the phase where admiring steve jobs is now considered a cool contrarian take?
kys homosexual, follow your leader
so normie
nerds are not into apple
normies are
he picked wht winners of a whole load of designs that apealed to NPC's
My apple mb15 2015 and mb 2012 13 sill working
>How did he do it?
By copying Braun on design, lowering the quality on each step of the production line to save pennies (for example tin screws that break 100% of the time you open them, even by Apple's own official repair service), then telling retards that they are poor and stupid unless they buy it immediately. Worked better than he ever imagined. A lot of suckers out there.
The Atelier TV iMac comparison is a fucking stretch. The PS/2 model 25, Macintosh 5xx and 5xxx series are closer in look.
the powermac isn't even close, either
What fucking retard made this image?
The only ones that look even a little plausible are the calculator and the pocket radio/iPad.
jobs was a master salesman and vision defender. he's also a master micromanager and manipulator. he turns techbros' life's work into products and sold those products to the masses. he is the business half of the startup formula, and as much as the engineer bros hate it, every woz needs a jobs, otherwise they're perpetually admin'ing some random server and making 0 dollars a year. people like jobs make sweat into equity, and equity into a household name.
He wasn't completely ignorant to programming.
https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-18456746
Just saw the bigger potential for technology, and found a good friend in Woz who wildly eclipsed him in nuts & bolts knowledge. Allowing him to focus more on the human side of computing, and business side of operations.
Because all engineers are shit at managing people and having profitable ideas.
two words: cock sucking
why do you thing all the mac users are homosexuals?
>>Can't code
True. Coding is a mechanical skill.
>>Can't design
Now that's not true. Design is what's important, and he was actually good at that. Freetards will n ever be able to compete (neither will C**k, for that matter).
got other people to do it.
pick the trend
quite the skill tbh
also publically humilated kicked out of own firm
made a come back and did well
and died of panc canc.
Just another failure of capitalism to allocate resources where they would be most beneficial, and instead disproportionately giving them to con artists.
Reminder that this retard would still be alive if he listened to his doctors instead of trying to cure cancer by drinking carrot juice.
apple products have been a roaring success and you can't swing a dead cat without finding someone who loves their iphone and would happily buy another. what makes them wrong about how to spend their money, and your commie ass correct?
apple products are created by the engineers working on them, honey, not by the con artist who was too stupid to not kill himself. The extent of his contributions to apple are tormenting the people working under him and conning people to give him money.
>the workers created apple products, not some con artist CEO
talent by itself is useless if it isn't part of a hierarchical structure with a centralized vision at the top. worker co-ops are an inefficient bureaucratic mess and will always get outperformed by what you probably refer to as "exploitative" cooperations.
Only at things that require scale (multiple teams, manufacturing, production, etc). For individual creation, sole creators massively outperform big companies.
>>Can't design
You are retarded
well I outlived him so there's that.
>How did he do it?
superior middle eastern genes
writing, agriculture, civilization and so on..
>be in public eye
>be charismatic
That's literally all you need to go down in history, people will jump through hoops trying to find a reason why you specifically should be remembered over people who did the actual work
There are two ways to design computers:
1. Have some task that needs to be done and do the minimal effort to achieve that and absolutely nothing more
2. Realize that you can do anything and design a system that makes that potential trivially accessible
As it happens, almost all of modern computing inherits from the first kind. First they were built to calculate missile trajectories, then to make fancy business printouts, and then UNIX developers wanted to play a video game and then some other homos wanted to format text on a printer. Thus ends the purpose-centric development of computing; technologically speaking we're still stuck here with general computation accessibility.
Meanwhile XEROX was developing a computing system that was meant to do anything easily. Steve Jobs saw that they had developed a pointing device to interact with a graphical environment, and then slapped a similar looking thing onto his completely purposeless and computationally bankrupt system. Thusly we ended up with the common computing environment being a series of formatted text documents that provide no access to computation, but you can click on things.
