The good ones retire or have important, but not the most profitable/public facing jobs.
The other Apple Steve, Steve Wozniak founded the EFF and was the tech guy at early Apple. Jobs was the business guy.
John Carmack is a controversial figure, but he’s actually the tech wiz kid the techbros dream they are. He seems to just be interested in pushing technology and had some choice words for Meta when he left. They should have let him have his axe to carry around.

*helped found. He provided some initial funding and served on the board, but he wasn’t a founder.

Woz was the (head) tech brains behind Apple. Jobs was just the asshole that made unreasonable demands of the techs, overpriced it & marketed it.

I think they were talking about the EFF, but the difference between “helped found” and “founded” isn’t important here. I’m just giving an example of a “Good One”.
