We're not going to miss him if you guys don't stop posting stuff about him. In fact, personally, I'm getting tired of the man.
I'm not tired of Steve Jobs, but the idealized adulation is not only off-putting, but also opposite of what Jobs valued.
sorry it's so long!
Not long enough! I can't speak for anyone else, but you've eloquently described the main reason why I found Steve Jobs so inspiring. If you've read The Talent Code, I am definitely reminded of the chapters on Ignition, where the author Daniel Coyle writes about the conditions under which people are inspired and motivated.
