Minor correction —- Jobs was a living legend at that point, but wasn’t CEO again, yet.
Not sure that it was a different world in the way you mean. Back then, as today, leaders of leading tech giants wouldn’t be in that setting taking questions from developers. It was a different Apple; one whose prospect of survival was in question, which needed developers not to abandon the platform, and needed employees not to abandon the company.
