"Woz was the tech genius, not Jobs....I've never heard of a tech genius who also cared much about the qualities you mention."

I hope you've considered that your worldly experience may not be comprehensive.

I've known plenty of good programmers who care about all the things I mentioned. They just don't self-select with the Linux user groups of the world, so you're unlikely to come upon them if that's where you hang out.



To clarify, I asked for an example, not touted myself as the arbiter of worldly experiences.

I also asked for an example of a programmer on the level of Woz. This is an important distinguishing quality, because otherwise there's no way to know how good a hacker actually is. Every story would be anecdotal instead of resembling factual.
