Steve Jobs

About Steve Jobs

One of the most influential minds of the tech industry was none other than Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple. On top of being a relentless innovator and pioneer revered (and sometimes feared) in the business world, the man’s love life was remarkably many shades less complicated than an iPhone user agreement. Being a master of coding and innovation, might have led some to assume Steve was also fluent in the language of love. However, records show that he was just as puzzled and devoted as the rest of us... when it all came down to swiping right in real life rather than on a silver screen.

But here’s the kicker - for a man who smashed so many preconceived notions in the technology world, Jobs took a surprisingly traditional route in his romantic trajectory. Come on - there was surely no “Jobsway" pastiche for speed-dating or boilerplate love affairs as you’d see in some Silicon Valley sitcoms. Nope, Steve committed romantically just as he did professionally - one project at a time, so to speak. And when it comes to total settlements and divorces? Zero. We could say that this tech wizard encountered fewer bugs in his love life’s operating system than in, you know, his actual OS systems.

It's as though Jobs applied the same design principles used in his slick tech products to manage a smooth love life, with no plaques of software crashes and unprecedented freezes. He transitioned seamlessly between software updates while staunchly avoiding platform pitfalls, resulting in perhaps some of the slowest, smoothest app-like romance Silicon valley will ever witness. Bad news for gossip columnists, but it seems even with sprinkles of cutting-edge techno talks, the lessons in Jobs’ love life might boil down to old school rule-of-thumb: stick to principles, savor simplicity, and shun redundancy. Love-life advice served a la "Apple"-ton, folks. Byte it!
