DON'T DO "DRIVE-BY RECRUITMENT"
Summary from the TLDR Founders newsletter
Low-effort cold emails from founders are a huge bear signal on the company. Founders who send them are deeply uncalibrated about what it takes to recruit good people. This is especially true if they go cold immediately after a rejection. Recruiting is sales - these things are a relationship game. Next time a founder says that it's impossible to hire good engineers, consider that they might just be terrible at it.
