>>103236044In marketing? yeah absolutely he was the best.In computer? Nah he made some of the most retarded decision ever.
>>103236044Like all C-level, just a parasite who stole credit of better peoples' work.What set him apart was that rather than being a complete sponge, he at least had a sense for what their customers actually wanted, and steered Apple's talent in that direction.
He was an excellent organizer and motivator of other people who is given a lot of stolen valour in terms of his engineering prowess. Similar to Musk in that way (I am not anti-Musk despite how that sounds).
he was a good salesmen but a terrible software/hardware engineer
