Steve Jobs Insult Response - Highest Quality

[@JohnnyF71]

The main lesson here is to how to defend yourself without actually attacking your critics.

Or...you know, answering the question that was asked... edit: I meant...Jobs didn't answer the question.....

[@shmikeyify]

Yep I woulda said fuck you that's why and chucked a water bottle at him.

[@JohnnyF71]

The way the question was asked and the intent behind it didn't merit a straight answer I don't think. Jobs addressed the issue the questioner asked but he didn't rise to the baiting aspect of it. He also clearly realised that here was a person who simply didn't like him and that his willingness to question Jobs was as much about saying what he wanted to say as it was about getting a legitimate response. Anyone who takes the approach that guy did with Jobs is ultimately doing nobody any favors, not least themselves, and is on an inevitable hiding to nothing.

The pause before his answer I think is something we can all learn from.

[@ancientparadox2084]

Classy and well done response. Admits to his limitations, acknowledges the complaint without attacking the man, and gives other people credit. That was some good leadership there.

[@newprojects7847]

His response came of like a political speech to me... redirecting the attention of the matter instead of answering his question directly (the guys who asked was probably upset because of OpenDocs, which is reasonable and valid because the years, time, and money invested into it essentially went to waste) so I wouldn't say it was good leadership and just because his speech contained almost no fillers didn't mean he was exactly being direct with his answer. Just notice how he mentioned about making a product that would make 10 billion dollars a year and how he would see his products through the eyes of the customer instead of engineers that could make the next best things of technology. Both of those are irrelevant to his question regarding the discontinuation of OpenDocs. Again, *redirection*

[@dawiddulian2403]

[@Outwardpd]

@@dushas9871 He did answer it though, he was saying that OpenDoc does do some things that Java couldn't do alone but that those things are unimportant for them. They didn't want to maintain OpenDoc just because its list of features was long, at that point it is a needless addition to the tech stack and therefore a lot of work with no payoff. That is what he meant by 'we have to start with the customer and work backwards' you don't just make random high-tech stuff and hope customers want it, you instead ask customers what they want and make that. What the customers wanted didn't need OpenDoc so it became defunct. What is brilliant is that the developer very rudely insulted Jobs in front of tons of people, Jobs took the time to gather himself, answer the question, and then proceed to also answer the spirit of the question. All that while not only not attacking the question asker but even somewhat defending him.

(which if you know anything about these technologies is a total non sequitur). The dev is clearly pissed off and rude, but you have to place his adversarial "question" in context of what Jobs just said.

People very rarely have a great day and then decide to go ruin someone else’s. For someone to see you genuinely making the effort to be compassionate and understanding to one who wouldn’t dare provide you the same courtesy, has so much power so as it can make an individual become reflective of things they otherwise wouldn’t give a second thought to.

Dude had $50 million, a bank account that was growing exponentially, and his daughter was living in a cockroach-infested apartment in a scary neighborhood (he later trashes the mother to the media), that's a hard piece of knowledge to get past.

Most people think their only optional responses to anger and insults is either a better insult or walking away. Steve Jobs didn't answer the 2nd question about what he's personally been doing for that 7 yr period, but would it have mattered if he'd listed the things he'd done? Would that man have believed him? The key takeaway is that he didn't lose his cool. He didn't try to out-insult his attacker. He didn't talk over his attacker. He didn't call on his loyalists to attack the man or escort him out. Communication is something we desperately need but severely lack in this world, so it's good to see at least one adult who can graciously and intelligently handle the pressure of not being liked in such a public way.

@@temp850 I'm not here to say you're insincere or insult you. That being said, there's a difference between kindness and elevating yourself to a moral high-ground. The latter is what most people see when they hear retorts like those analogous with the ones Christians were readily (and appropriately) called out for: "I'm going to pray for you," in response to an insult, which can easily be taken as passive-aggressive or condescending. I think what Jobs did was redirection, which was powerful in this public forum. As @ProtectingYourself accurately pointed out, he specifically didn't address the insult, respond to it, or even react to it. It was completely ignored... Instead, _because there was more than the insult,_ he distilled it all down to the specific concern, and addressed that. In doing so, he could address it pragmatically and provide a useful answer. Insults, compliments, and virtue signaling are empty, and turn people away. And, the unfortunate reality is that some of those Christians that responded to insults and personal attacks with "I'm going to pray for you" were truly being genuine, and felt empathy for their verbal attackers. The result, however, was to harden and distance the individual more and push them further away. I think what Jobs did here was the opposite. He took the attackers, cut down to the core of their accusations, and gave a solid, pragmatic argument as to why they should join him.

This clip really shows how consumers will ultimately choose what they want even outside of the developer's preference. Here is some extra context with this clip: The man who was annoyed is a software developer who used OpenDoc and was upset that Apple cancelled development of it at this press conference. His demeanour towards Steve Jobs was insinuating that he is a big bad businessman wanting to cancel it. OpenDoc was an application framework developed by Apple to allow all features of a program to be "components" where they can be reusable across different applications. This sounds great in theory but proved to be very memory consuming and despite the initial thought of it being better for the developer and the consumer, it only proved to be better for the developer and not the consumer. Steve Jobs mentions this in his response. "You can't start with the technology and try to figure out where you're gonna try to sell it" 2:00. At the end of the day, consumers want simplicity and great software. People are just going to be pissed off at first. Great reply from Steve.

oh no they still do, the average technology purchaser isn't their primary customer, however. The person buying all of your personal information from their "customer metrics" harvesting is their primary customer. You are the product.

Steve's demeanor had nothing to do with humility or classiness. In fact, he was usually abrupt and rude to people, even those who worked closely with him. // His daughter Lisa Brennan-Jobs wrote about several of these instances. In one chapter she relates how Steve flew into a rage and yelled at a woman at a resort restaurant where they were having dinner. He completely humiliated her to the point of tears. The food was not prepared exactly to his instructions.

[@joek4016]
