I didn't have schedules - my schedule was my desire to get something worth showing off done. I did almost all of the hardware and software designs in the earliest days of Apple, and before. Steve Jobs was good at digital electronics but was a step short of an engineer, so he left it to me to do the great job. A lot of people respect the design or invention at the level I did it, designing circuits, constructing them, testing them, changing them, getting opinions, demonstrating them, going back to the drawing board, etc. But you could say that an entire product needs more in the way of finishing the design with attractive or appropriate packaging and conveyed in a way that people will buy it.
Creative things have to sell to get acknowledged as such.
I don't deny that. He also had the ability to manage and direct a complete design project, and proved it over the years. He didn't function that way much in my own case, but he did have the ability to understand which technologies were the ones to go with and which design efforts and techniques made sense. I could only do this when the project was very narro and basically for myself alone. It was hard for me to look at other people and create the best products for them.
