Can we stop celebrating this guy and move on? Times have changed, the wold has changed, but the aloof reality distortion continues. I will not rattle off my list of issuex but suffice to say he is not worthy of emulation in a mjority of his actions. I will boldly state: Nobody actually wants to work with the next Jobs, they just want to say they did.

>I will boldly state: Nobody actually wants to work with the next Jobs, they just want to say they did.

So, if the next Jobs gets them from near bankruptcy negative -200 million to a trillion dollar worth company and huge cultural cachet and consumer influence, they wouldn't want to work with him because he occasionally yells at people, or is very demanding, etc?

I'd say if someone is recognized as the "next Steve Jobs" there would be lines to get hired there... As there were lines to get hired at Apple during his tenure, so this "nobody actually wants to work with" seems a little wishful thinking...

I just read "I decided my ideas were so good I had no motivation to collaborate on a compromise with coworkers", so OP seems correct.

In reference to my personal experience with meetings?

Citation pretty please.

Homework is crap. Let learning stay at school. Families are busy, have things to do. The complaints are obvious.

So 1 percent minorities don't matter to you? Good to know.

A publication, whose right to exist is literally and authoritively the 1st amendment, is arguing against it. Wtf NYT, wtf.

Disposable furniture is not worth the cost. Buying a 300 dollar chiar seems dumb until you throw out 7 50 dollar chairs in the meantime. Not to mention the environmental impact of this antique mindset.

Per tfa they were custom doors and cost more than most desks.

He claims they were expensive, but in the top of the article he states two other things: That it's been so long he can't be relied on for accurate recollections, and also that when they first started using door, it did in fact make financial sense.

Most doors have a margin that can be cut to the desired height, which is what "tfa" said was done. That doesn't make it a custom door though. The author said he observed the desks being made, so it sounds like he saw them being cut to the desired height and, not knowing that was common for doors, assumed they must be expensive and therefore custom.

Maybe they were expensive! But the author is not a reliable narrator on the topic, and without some better evidence I'm not inclined to believe amazon went from using typical solid-core doors for a while, but then went out of their way to find very expensive doors.

Ikea is crap. If you want a lasting desk, hit up a used office furnishing place in your town. For 50 bucks you can have a classic or modern desk with delivery to boot.

Yep, a few hours searching garage sales will usually find one too, though transport can then be an issue. Either way, if you're a startup, between garage sales, use furniture stores, and craigslist you can spend a day or so scouring the area and probably find a dozen desks. If you need to, rent a Uhaul for $100 for transport. Sure, nothing will match, but if you're a cash-poor startup trying to get a round of VC, fancy offices shouldn't really be a focus.

I am a convicted felon, so are mny people. That is not a defacto judgement of character. While musk may be slimey, cavorting with felons is as fake news as it gets.
