Experienced Eng: I work 45-hour weeks.
Naive Rookie: OMG lame. I work 120 hours weekly and I set up a cot next to my desk at work.

Very interesting @software_daily podcast with @fimaleshinsky of @teamintricately about cloud spending and cloud infrastructure analysis.
TIL Netflix spends over $25m *per month* on Amazon Web Services! softwareengineeringdaily.com/2019/04/25/int…

I'm old enough to remember US stock market prices being reported in fractions instead of decimals.
Please don't judge, it was more recent than you might think! (2001) twitter.com/kane/status/11…

8/ Content-wise, briefly describe the problem and how you solve it. Ideally mention how you solve it for people just like them or companies just like theirs.

7/ Mentioning case study results and logos of customers you work with is effective. Especially if the customers you mention are peers of or similar to the company you're contacting.

6/ Skip collateral for the first email, or at most include a one-pager.

5/ Be concise. Several comments offered heuristics like "concise enough to be read on a smartphone without scrolling" and "short enough to be read on mobile and responded to quickly."

4/ Personalize messages and be authentic. Do as much research as you reasonably can before reaching out to an exec who is super busy.

3/ Target people for whom the problem you're solving is a huge, daily pain point. You can also try targeting one level above them ("who on your team should I talk to about this problem?")

2/ People reported that multiple channels can work for cold outreach: email, LinkedIn, even cold calling. If one channel doesn't work for a specific target, try another. Be persistent, but not annoying.

A different take: another path is to get a "regular" job that gives you a little bit of cash, and then try to do something entrepreneurial with that cash. Constraints are good, but having $500 or $2k can open up opportunities that are unavailable when starting w/$0.

Great thread on the fear of appearing weird in public.
A liberating realization for me was that unless you're doing something incredible or egregious, no one really cares and no one will remember next month. twitter.com/eriktorenberg/…
