News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

No one even knows who Ive is. Ask 10 random people not on hackernews and I bet you will get 11 blank stares.

There is implied credit being given, and Jobs knows this. He doesn't bother to correct it, document publicly who designs things, or let Ive speak to the press and take credit himself. All of these are tantamount to taking credit. If credit comes your way and you do not deflect it or recognize the true author, you are taking credit.

And Jobs has done this ever since he worked on Breakout with Wozniak, so it is unsurprising.

Has anyone here ever had their name on a press release for a product launch? Dude gets a 8-figure salary and unlimited autonomy without the risk and management overhead of starting his own firm. There are tradeoffs in life.
