Jobs is a salesman. He knows engineers well enough to coopt their dreams. He knows he can exploit them because because they want to see their dreams reach fruition. And that is more important to them than taking credit or even getting stock options.

I never said Jobs was a great engineer or inventor. I said he was a brilliant CEO and part of the CEO's job is to sell his/her products to the world and to know what products people will want even when they don't know themselves. That's what Jobs is brilliant at, and for that, I can't help admiring him.
