@joel@fosstodon.org ah interesting. Thanks for your post. I’ve received an email too. I didn’t respond at the time because I assumed it was AI generated spam as I get around 5 of those per day.
I really should answer cold emails at least to check if there’s a real human behind them 😔

@anarodrigues@front-end.social @joel@fosstodon.org > I really should answer cold emails at least to check if there’s a real human behind them 😔 Every now and then I try doing this and 99% of the time they just lead to worse results than ignoring. People take a polite answer — even if just a "thanks but no" — as a permission to keep pestering. I wanna keep my hopes with humanity up but if it feels like a duck, it's likely a duck and I'll keep ignoring them. Haven't gotten one about this though.
