After listening to the recent Behind the Bastards episode on him, yeah absolutely. It's amazing his legacy isn't judged more harshly.

He's one of those people who died at the right time to preserve their own legacies, before public reckonings for non illegal bad behavior became common.

Harvey Dent: You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself to become the villain.

Steve Jobs: Bet.

I guess he died more or less pre-Twitter, so that's something. He'd have a different legacy otherwise.

I work in tech and specialize in Apple hardware. I get really sick of industry folks talking about Jobs as being inspiring and other nonsense. No, he was an asshole and we should not celebrate him.

These comments aren't reflective of mainstream views or silicon valley views where people aspire to be like Jobs. They're not even representative of the linked article.
