It's a really cool story, but I can't help but feel a lot has be idealized around regular people who did extraordinary things.
I mean, Steve Jobs had to work with people, but he wasn't some prophet. He was a talented guy, who had his failures and successes, more of the latter.
It is a cool story, but if my boss of 15 years ago becomes world famous, I'm not going to personally treasure the email he sent with 4 words, possible 2 automated, write a blog post about it.
I'm just going to giggle to myself a little. Again, I might be in the minority here.
- sailfast 1y agoI’d hypothesize you would if you thought he was a great boss, and the opportunity to work there was unique. Just reading that email felt magical to me - to get something so visionary on your first day at a company in the early 90s would’ve convinced me they were leading me in the right direction.
- bilekas 1y agoAgain, I like the guy, but you say this : > to get something so visionary In what world are 4 words visionary ? "Great idea, thank you" You're idealizing a boss you worked with..
- zerocrates 1y agoI assume they mean the email at the top of the post, with the photo and embedded audio.

Good idea. Write a blog about me when I'm gone.
