I'll still gladly piss on his grave but that's pretty good. Can't you just picture that douchebag typing this aloud to himself like "and SEND! What a dick."
Edit: "I'm gonna use short simple sentences so this fuckin moron can get the point."
it's perfect email composition. short and simple, right to the point, while still containing enough relevant information.
Yeah, agreed. Say only what you need to, let the implications do their own work.
We’re all on the same page in this thread so far. If we weren’t, we could simply supplant Jobs with a less divisive character.
Then, we’d be unencumbered in appreciating the simplicity and beauty of this unavoidably inherently spicy email. Love this one!
However you felt about him, one email from this guy could ruin a company.
Yea, that's one reason I feel the way I do enjoy him.
Wall street crime will never send you to the slammer.
Martha Stewart would like a word with you...
The exception that proves the rule?
That was also over 20 years ago!
Martha was a scapegoat
white collar crime is like alchemy. You take the right amount of anti labour violations, mix it in with tax dodging, add some pedophilia, a few fun felonies, rub it on literal and very obvious treason and you synthesize a president.
Catmull & Lasseter at PIXAR was into the same shit.
