You do know that Steve Jobs was CEO when the App Store was launched.

And in the 15 years since then very little has changed with how it works.

You can make the same mistakes you warn others about actually (and the App Store is not the only offender in this regard).
And wasn't Steve Jobs a Ringling Brothers level salesman?
Steve Jobs literally named the company after the summer he spent picking fruit with the Hare Krishna cult.

The cult of Apple lives, even though Mr. Jobs died of acute pancreatitis wrought by his exclusively fruit based diet.

Can't make this shit up.

> Can't make this shit up

Ironic, because you just did. Jobs thought he could cure his cancer through diet, and didn't. There's no indication that his diet caused his cancer.

Probably just a coincidence that Kutcher was hospitalized twice for pancreatitis after adopting Jobs' diet in preparation for the role.

that's what happens at companies that become ossified and management oriented.
