People like Swisher and Sacca are trying cast Dorsey has Jobs 2.0 and they are dead wrong. Jobs was a extreme outlier and there is no pattern matching on that.

I hope they realize that Twitter is a software company. There is very little cost to making changes versus the changes A hardware or hardware/software company would have have to do.

Has anyone actually said that?

Investors like founder CEOs. If you listen to his story, Jack has been passionate about coordinating communication for a long time. Passion is a good thing for a company. Simple as that.

meta: This is one of the worst discussions I've ever seen on HN.

It's obvious from his past history that he sees himself as Jobs 2.0. So I'm sure he's working the PR machine hard to see himself cast that way.

He's Jobs 2.0 if we decide he is.

As much as he accomplished and talented as he was, there was nothing magical about the man.

But, admittedly I'm among a very small minority who finds the cultural trend towards people-worshipping tiresome.

So, dare I blaspheme and say such a thing.
