Jobs was an Atari technician doing board layouts and grunt work. No programming was involved.

Breakout didn't have a microprocessor so Woz didn't program that either.



IIRC, Breakout is the project that:

- Jobs brought Woz over to the office at night

- completed with much less electronics parts

- Jobs struggled to explain the internal workings (of a schema he didn't make)

- Woz was compensated less (by being told by Jobs that Atari didn't give a big bonus)

- Jobs denies siphoning much of the bonus
