I can’t remember who recently resurfaced this to my attention but this 1997 WWDC Fireside Chat with Steve Jobs is essentially an MBA degree in an hour. Of the cuff, smart, and future forward. Jobs at his best.

@simonwoods I have a friend that worked directly under him for a while. A ton of great stories that have never come out.

@jthingelstad First five minutes…

Developer: What about OpenDoc?

Jobs: What about it? …Oh, you mean why did we kill it? Well, sometimes we’re going to put a bullet in the head of things you like.

@patrickrhone OpenDoc puts me instantly back at the time I was playing with OS/2. 🤓

@patrickrhone As I get older I’m becoming more predisposed to such an approach. As so many people seek to share at an increasing rate, I just feel uncomfortable and prefer instead to know and remember people away from any sort of public sphere.
