Woz might be a better model for most hackers. What made Bill unusual was that in addition to being a fairly good hacker, he was really into business. But while someone who cares about both is a formidable force, I don't think "pay more attention to business" is the best recipe for most hackers. For most hackers a better recipe might be "build lots of great new things."

I'd rather have more along the lines of linus, rms, and of course our own pg - the kind of hacker that has actually tried to improve things for other hackers in the last three decades instead of trying to hold them back.
