I'm curious to know the topic of these emails. I never once thought to cold email the CEO of a company. (Then again maybe that's why I'm a programmer, not a CEO myself.)

Most of them are minor ideas like the ones I just copy/pasted below. But sometimes they are longer like this one: https://hub.scroll.pub/applecard/applecard.pdf https://hub.scroll.pub/applecard/applecard.pdf ----- Nope, we don't have one yet though it would be a good idea. I'm looping in Joe for this. Thanks for the nudge!

    i have no idea. i've sent sam many emails. that's just one. i'm sure most of my ideas are bad, but I like to pretend that 1 in 10 are a worthwhile tip. he (or his office/AGI reply bot) always humors me into at least believing he's listening ;) (he has also always generously provided me with great guidance many times over the years, like when he advised me to take the MSFT offer we got in 2014, when I was on the fence, which turned out to be the right move 110%)
