This is the first private message I get on Lemmy, it immediately seemed suspicious to me so I tried the famous thing… and it worked!

    I’ve recently been on YCombinator’s co-founder matching service (for people looking to create a startup). It’s taught me SO much about writing good emails.

    Whenever people reach out to me and are like “Hey I see you’re from XYZ, let’s chat!” I instantly reject the invite. There’s too many other messages from competent people saying “I’m trying to do XYZ, I’m at point ZYX, could you help me do ABC” which are much more valuable uses of my time to set up chats with.
