In a recent interview, Bill Gates shared an interesting anecdote about his relationship with the late Steve Jobs, revealing that Jobs once suggested he should have taken LSD to improve his design sense. Gates recalled Jobs saying, “Steve Jobs once said that he wished I’d take acid because then maybe I would have had more taste in my design of my products.”

Gates humorously responded, “Look, I got the wrong batch. I got the coding batch, and this guy got the marketing-design batch, so good for him2.” He acknowledged that while Jobs had a talent for marketing and design, his own strengths lay in coding and software development.
