This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Jobs paved the way for Musk. I hate that he's so often cited as a genius to look up to in the tech world
The behind the bastards episodes on Jobs was really eye-opening to just how awful of a leader he was
People mistaking Marketing people for tech genies happens to often.
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.
I find it really amusing to know Bill Gates ones made fun of him:
"Steve's achievements are all the more impressive when you know that he couldn't look at a piece of code and know what it was."
However he also said:
"Clearly, he had so many skills that I didn't, but we were both a little bit pied pipers in terms of getting people to work ridiculous hours."
Which really should tell you everything you need to know given who made the money and how many people were made to work "ridiculous hours".
