Saw
the movie and was intrigued enough to pick up Walter Isaacson's
biography, which I just finished while reading headlines about the
horrible roll out of the Obama-care national health exchange. What I
took from Job's is that to build really good product you need a
directed mercurial personality that would be difficult to tolerate in
government. Statements by President Obama and Secretary of Health
Sibelius' staff that “failure is not acceptable” does not make a
good piece of software appear out of committee. It's tough for the
Commander and Chief who is used to answer a command question with
“make it so” to understand that a complicated solution may not be
one at all.
