"The Tweaker", Malcolm Gladwell

Had enough Steve Jobs stories? Me too. But Malcolm Gladwell's New Yorker piece is worth reading because it counterbalances the misleading elegies that made Jobs out to be a protean creator like da Vinci or Edison.

In brief:

Jobs’s sensibility was editorial, not inventive.

But to get a feeling for what that actually means, you'll have to read Gladwell's article for yourself.
