Nice way to twist my words.

More than one project. A decade of them.

The smart people he hires are important. I never claimed he wrote the millions of lines of code in MacOSX, though he probably did write several 100,000 of them, as he and just a handful of engineers at NeXT wrote OSX (or it’s precursor if you want to be technical about it).

But when it came to the vision of what the product had to be, he set those goals.

You don’t think he wrote down many of his ideas for the company to continue to pursue? Apple was his project (and Wozniak’s), and without his vision, Apple would have died on the vine -— look at what the PepsiCo CEO did to them before Jobs came back and turned the company into the most valuable company in the world.

One can only hope that the team he left behind to be his brain in his absence can live up to his level. Especially Apple investors.

You are either dense or a troll, which is it?

Classic liberal Alinsky method.
