Why not tolerate a diversity of opinions on priorities? I'm personally better off for Jobs having a different preference matrix. My kids will be as well.
Great. And yes, I'd resent him had he traded the weekends we spent making balsa-wood gliders, filming Star Trek home videos (paper maché + sugar against a black t-shirt + handycam) and taking desert hikes for face time in the office.
But we are inarguably better off for Jobs--and countless others--having prioritised their professions over conventional needs. It simply seems a bit ruddy to footnote that sacrifice with scoffing.
You don’t know the alternate reality where jobs did not do that. Perhaps another company would have done similar things or even something completely different than also improved our lives.
Palm was mismanaged its entire life and kept spinning off and re-acquiring the same assets.
EDIT: That's how a woman I know got her husband to stop beating her, was ready with the knives, said some Shrinktalk quotes (the book may come soon), and the guy...didn't...didn't...have that much of a beating for her in him any longer.
