Who's your favourite / most inspirational tech figure/entrepreneur?
For me, it's Steve Jobs.
No I'm not joking and this isn't a troll thread. Sure Jobs isn't a fucking messiah, but he's a can-do, go-getter, self-starter. That's what I find inspirational. He didn't give a fuck, he made things happen. He created a massively successful company and massively successful products; and yes he had some failures, like every business does (e.g. Zune, Windows 8 - clearly Apple isn't the only company to make fuck-ups).
>b-but he's not a programmer! he doesn't know anything about computers!
Who gives a fuck? You're right, he wasn't a programmer. This differentiates him from Bill Gates, who was. Even Elon Musk wrote code as a kid. But who gives a fuck? Nerdy autistic programmers who resent his success? Those are the only people who give a shit from my experience.
The thing is it doesn't matter whether you're a programmer. Gates, Musk and Jobs did not develop careers as programmers. They all developed careers as ENTREPRENEURS. They started companies and ran them day-to-day.
Anyway whatever, Jobs was cool. Who do you look up to /g/?
