In 1997 at WWDC, a developer tried to corner Steve Jobs with a harsh critique about Apple canceling OpenDoc.
Most leaders would’ve snapped. Jobs didn’t.

He stayed calm, admitted what he didn’t know, and redirected the entire room toward what actually mattered: Apple needed to survive — and that meant betting on products real consumers cared about.

That focus wasn’t popular at the time… but by 2025, Apple’s $3 trillion valuation made his clarity impossible to argue with.

Some still mourn OpenDoc’s “what if,” but that moment shows exactly why Jobs was polarizing — and why he won.
