The author buried the lede. But fortunately, I just had to select "Steve Jobs’s 10-80-10 Rule" and right click web search it for an AI explanation of the rule. Now I don't need to read whatever the author wanted to force on me before getting to the point.

TL;DR

- Spend the first 10 percent of the time communicating your vision for the thing.

- Allow others to spend the next 80 percent of the time moving the thing forward.

- Spend another 10 percent of the time polishing the thing, and helping others understand why and how you’re tweaking.
