Woz weighs in on the heated exchange in the Steve Jobs movie

Anthony Ha, writing for TechCrunch, laid out this dialog from the new Steve Jobs movie:

Woz: You can’t write code, you’re not an engineer, you’re not a designer, you can’t put a hammer to a nail. I built the circuit board, the graphical interface was stolen from Xerox Parc, Jef Raskin was the leader of the Mac team before you threw him off his own project. Everything — someone else designed the box! So how come 10 times in a day, I read “Steve jobs is a genius.” What do you do?

Jobs: I play the orchestra. And you’re a good musician, you sit right there, you’re the best in your row.

In the article comments, the real-life Woz weighed in with this:

I always give Jobs the credit for finishing a design into a product and marketing it and much more. The movie made up this part based on the first few months of the Apple ][ but I, instead of Jobs, should have been the one to say “I’m the best in my row, actually in every row.” I only wanted recognition as a good (great) engineer.
