The Mac team defines the "reality distortion field" as different from how we describe it today: An engineer would mention an idea to Jobs, who would call it stupid, and weeks later he'd bring it up as his own, knowingly or not.
There’s this gap. For the first couple years, when you’re making stuff, what you’re making is not that good. You’re trying to make it good but it’s really not that good. But your taste is still killer, and you’re taste is good enough that you can tell that what you’re making is a disappointment to you. And a lot of people quit at this stage.
