Steve Jobs was notoriously impatient. His tirades were so well known that, in the early years of Apple, one executive had the job of keeping Jobs in check and calming the wake of wounded feelings. This notorious impatience was coupled with what Walter Isaacson, in his brilliant biography “Steve Jobs,” called a “binary view of the world,” in which all things were either/or — a product was either “shit” or the best ever; a person was either a hero or a “shithead;” and a meal or a particular shade of color would either “completely suck” or be “absolutely perfect.”
