Why do the words "Steve Jobs" and "programming" in the same sentence very slightly rub me the wrong way. Probably because one thing he wasn't, amongst all the superhuman things attributed to him by Apple zealots, is a programmer.
Elon Musk doesn't build rockets either - but it's fair to associate him with SpaceX progress. We rightly blame the top guy when stuff goes pear shaped, and we should be willing to let them get some credit when it goes well.
