What engineering? Him doing mediocre PHP code work in the 90s?

He is (inaccurately) known for his engineering _because of_ his marketing.

As I said, he's a marketing genius.

Or maybe "was" is more accurate.

He doesn't build anything. Everything he's done has been acquisitions that he tries to astroturf as founding.
