That's so unfortunate. I'm kind of bummed that (at least in your sample) the HN community seems to spam more about a businessman than an engineer.
I'm curious what will happen when Woz passes.
I'm curious what will happen when Woz passes.
He wasn't an engineer of any outstanding merit--see how he tried to nix expansion slots on the old Apples, or the Atari debacle, or other such things.
Moreover, he's done nothing but create lasting damage as a role model for future CEOs (have you ever dealt with a CEO doing something stupid because "Steve was right"?) and foster a culture of isolation and consumerism in technology. Apple v. Samsung is rubbish, and the petulant Android vendetta is hardly something we should celebrate.
Please tell me the good news about him so I may change my mind.
