Steve Jobs sent an email to new NeXT Systems Engineer Steve Hayman, replying “Great idea, thank you” after Hayman naively set up an email alias for Jobs’ address ([email protected]) to his own. Initially panicking over misdirected emails, Hayman corrected the alias back to Jobs and explained his mistake, receiving a cherished written acknowledgment from Jobs. Hayman reflects on this unique interaction and his career, which began with Jobs and ended with Tim Cook.
