What disappoints me the most is that people treat him as an inventor, when he invented nothing, his engineers did.

Dennis Ritchie as an example deserves way more respect than Jobs the buffoon.

But if you make "pop" devices to be sold to the layman, you are great in the public eye.

Yes, because you gave the people what they wanted.

It turns out that's all it takes to be popular (and unfortunately, for all their wisdom in other areas, so many tech folks fail to grasp that nuance).

Ritchie did excellent work, but a world filled with nothing but computers that worked like C and UNIX do would be a harsh and inhuman place.
