This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Jobs paved the way for Musk. I hate that he's so often cited as a genius to look up to in the tech world
People mistaking Marketing people for tech genies happens to often.
I find it really amusing to know Bill Gates ones made fun of him:
"Steve's achievements are all the more impressive when you know that he couldn't look at a piece of code and know what it was."
However he also said:
"Clearly, he had so many skills that I didn't, but we were both a little bit pied pipers in terms of getting people to work ridiculous hours."
Which really should tell you everything you need to know given who made the money and how many people were made to work "ridiculous hours".
The behind the bastards episodes on Jobs was really eye-opening to just how awful of a leader he was
It is a MASSIVE eye opener

Which is one of the reasons I'm giving up on working in tech despite having a PhD from my home country in Telecommunications. I have skills and could learn the ones I lack but I just don't have the mindset and attitude and don't feel like developing them. I'd rather code my own projects in my own way while remaining underemployed.
