alt Hacker News> Steve Jobs would be rolling in his grave if he could see the software quality of the products that Apple releases today.
lol, nah he wouldn't. He would of upgraded his coffin to plush and got a big screen to watch the money roll in.
I recommend reading up on his 80/90's antics. All he cared about was money and that the world was crafted by him.
He was widely known for intense bullying, lacking empathy, and ruthless manipulation, combined with a "productive narcissism" that fueled his obsessive drive for perfection.

Yes, and "his obsessive drive for perfection" as you put it is what would make him "rolling in his grave if he could see the software quality of the products that Apple releases today" as the parent put it.

Incorrect. Read the David Pogue Apple book. For example, after the iMac was released, the Apple board of directors offered Jobs a million shares and six million options if he switched from interim to permanent CEO. Jobs continued to refuse. “This is not about money. I have more money than I’ve ever wanted in my life.”
Most of Steve's wealth came from Pixar, which he ultimately sold to Disney, rather than from Apple.
