Do's and don'ts

If you do decide to contact me, here’s a small list of things you should and shouldn’t do:

Do

• Describe your application’s technology stack
• Give a salary indication up front
• Obey Wheaton’s Law
• Include the keyword sourdough in any message you send me.

Don’t

• Be arrogant, passive-aggressive or condescending
• Insist I call you on the phone, give me all relevant info up-front
• Bother contacting me if you’re not using a recent Java version
• Include some bullshit rant about how you’re not a recruiter
• Send me contact invites on LinkedIn. I’ll just press “Ignore” and click “I don’t know this person”
• Try getting in touch with me through my current employer
• Contact me by e-mail
• Invite me over for coffee. I hate coffee
