 To everyone who replied to my post about Isaacson’s terrible Elon Musk biography to tell me that his Steve Jobs biography was also bad: I agree. Here’s what I had to say about it at the time: https://hypercritical.fireside.fm/42

 @a6ff0b2b It was a perfect episode name in 2011 and it’s still perfect now.

 @a6ff0b2b It's a genuine point of pride for me that I made the selected Showbot title suggestion both for this episode and for Episode 37, ”So That's Steve Jobs”. A point of pride that I have silently carried until today!

And then I just went to look for the latter on the Hypercritical podcast archive and it's listed as 37: A Story of Triumph. Did it get renamed at some point? Have I Mandela Effect'd myself? I am truly perplexed.
