Yeah, it's not like we have Steve Jobs' notebooks to be able to know and compare all of the projects he worked on that never saw the light of day. Apple is notoriously a very secretive company. We often don't find out about canned projects until a decade later.

Nobody ships everything they work on. This is a creators' myth that I don't know why keeps getting perpetuated.



I think the entire argument is absurd. Da Vinci did ship - he created hundreds of artworks and by any measure (other than money) achieved more than Jobs - and I say that as a fan of Steve Jobs.


Agreed completely. The proof is in the pudding. Da Vinci has had a massively lasting impact on human culture. 500 years later, we still talk about him.
