On the 10th anniversary of Steve Jobs’ passing, Jony Ive reflected<\/a> on the man he worked with for nearly 30 years. It was a lovely remembrance, primarily orbiting the sanctity of the creative process and the burbling of ideas. It reminded me about something else Jony said about Steve in shortly after his death:<\/p>

“And just as Steve loved ideas, and loved making stuff, he treated the process of creativity with a rare and a wonderful reverence. You see, I think he better than anyone understood that while ideas ultimately can be so powerful, they begin as fragile, barely formed thoughts, so easily missed, so easily compromised, so easily just squished<\/em>.” —Jonathan Ive<\/p><\/blockquote><\/blockquote>\n\n

John Gruber<\/a> quotes Ive’s remembrance.<\/p>\n\n

Start off by going to Apple’s front page<\/a>, check out the short film, “Celebrating Steve” and scroll down for the “Statement from the Jobs family”.<\/p>

That pic of Steve slouched in an office chair, about 4 seconds in, struck me as familiar<\/a>. Was that Susan Kare’s chair?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n

The fact that so much of Apple’s growth has happened since Jobs’s departure hasn’t reduced him at all. It would be relatively easy to argue that the success of Tim Cook’s Apple suggests that, despite everyone’s concern in the late days of 2011, the company actually could go on without Jobs at the helm. But that’s not what anyone thinks. Instead, Jobs is credited for putting Apple on the path that led to it becoming what it is today.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
