That story about how Edison built the first working carbon filament light bulb by making everyone sleep at the office and live on coffee and donuts he had a lady bring in and just work continuously making prototypes until they fainted from exhaustion

And this gets taught in school as a *good thing*, as an *inspiring story* With the same spin they do for Musk - "Well he was right there on the floor with them"

I don't give a shit No union organizer says "Well if Elon is there too then that's okay" Assuming that hype is true that's his own neurosis and his own fucking problem

Though, as an engineer, I will say that Woz probably did it for the challenge more than anything else, and came up with something amazing. He probably would have done it anyway, Jobs’ gaslighting was a bit of shitty icing on top in the form of “motivation”.

exactly this. I have no doubt Woz did it for the pure challenge (as a person who does this myself). I also expect that Woz is largely appreciative for Jobs as a Yin to his Yang that enabled them both to be very successful. Nobody does everything.
