This has become a cliché about Steve Jobs. Understandably so, because it's fundamental and worth repeating. But it makes me wonder: who out there in the tech world actually takes it seriously? I think the answer is "almost no one". As far as I can see, pretty much everyone, including pretty much everyone on Hacker News, thinks something between "Humanities, haha" and "Yeah, yeah."

Whatever Jobs actually meant by this is so far from having any place in normal tech culture that we all think it's obvious and ignore it.
