I often wondered what Steve Jobs learned during his exile from Apple that made him so much more effective in the late 1990s than he had been in the 1980s. It turns out it was just one adjustment in the way he talked. You can make the same adjustment. #retrocomputing dfarq.homeip.net/what-steve-j...

Just a quick reminder:
Build features that people will use, not just the ones you think they might like. 😃

Deep breaths. Let me play some soothing ukulele for you while I teach you how to disable message previews on your phone so cops and nosy roommates can’t see who is messaging you even when your phone is locked 😘
