You Sir, know what you are talking about!

Woz is a coding and hardware genius!

His 6502 assembly code to control the 5.25 disk drive in software from the Apple II was amazing. He eliminated almost all of the expensive hardware interface.

Jobs was a so-so coder and had no hardware skills to speak of.
He was a creative business genius though.
