  1. Wow, she got to the point quickly. I keep getting "Hi, this is X from Y. We spoke last year/my colleague is on vacation/I cover Z etc blabla and would like to know whether you would be interested in planning a meeting to talk about some exciting new opportunities I have for you." despite my resume explicitly stating no recruiters and not even being open to work anymore.

  2. Let devs find their own team mates online. Devs should at least read the CV enough to see if it matches the job, and can immediately tell whether they'd get along with someone irl before inviting them over and wasting everyone's time.

  3. I'd trust someone in a t-shirt more than someone who lies about requirements.
