Jobs and Woz (2011)

I feel the exact opposite - that Woz is elevated by programmers and engineers to a much higher status than he deserves.

Jobs was a once in a generation visionary. Woz was extremely talented, but not singularly unique.

Jobs, one-in-a-billion; Woz, one-in-a-hundred-thousand or so.

Yeah, Woz came to speak at my university about 6 years ago and it was pretty underwhelming as a Computer Science undergraduate. He may have been a brilliant engineer at one point, but now he seems primarily interested in investing his wealth and talking about business. Hardly the nerdy hero of Apple the internet often props him up as.

If we're using hyperbole arguments like that, then the actual magic gold here is Jobs+Woz: one in a bazillion.
