    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.

      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.
