I'd suggest reading the Steve Jobs biography by Walter Isaacson. Humans are complex creatures and a distilled one sentence summation rarely does us justice.

#14Makes me think of something I always wondered; did Steve know programming? He did work at Atari right? I think I’ve always attributed Steve’s huge success to 3 things; Meeting Woz, Meeting Markkula and spending a lot of time to practise articulating himself. I must admit, I envy the man. Who doesn’t. Apple is a fantastic company and keeps releasing great products.
Woz did his big programming project at Atari.
Jobs was an Atari technician doing board layouts and grunt work. No programming was involved.
Breakout didn't have a microprocessor so Woz didn't program that either.

It's hard to really envy anyone who doesn't have a solid relationship with their kids...
No judgement, its impossibly difficult but it just seems like an incredibly painful existence and it feels like that relationship might be the biggest opportunity to have a direct influence on the future most (some) of us get.
But according to that punk'd biopic it seems like he got things on track near the end so hopefully it was all good.
