devs, let's talk about professional boundaries.
recently, i needed a recommendation letter from the CEO of an international startup i previously worked for.
i sent an email. waited. followed up. still no response.
it was frustrating. a simple "yes" or "no" takes five seconds and shows basic respect.
instead of getting emotional or begging, i sent one final message. i officially withdrew my request, pointed out the lack of communication, and let them know my career was moving forward without them.
a few hours later?
i received a response, and the exact letter i needed was immediately arranged.

takeaways:
• stay strictly professional.
• follow up, but know your worth.
• confidently stepping back commands more respect than chasing.
• demand respect for your own time.
we spend years improving our technical skills. don't forget your communication skills. sometimes they make just as much difference.
Still going ✌️

DNA is really so crazy. Have y’all heard that story about the woman who had a baby with her husband, but when he got a DNA test, it said he wasn’t the father?
The mother insisted he was the dad, so they repeated the test multiple times, and it kept saying the same thing. It later came out that, based on the DNA results, he wasn’t the father… but the uncle of the child. Which made no sense because he was an only child. After more extensive testing, they discovered the husband was actually a chimera, meaning he had absorbed his twin in the womb and carried two sets of DNA. So basically… the baby was biologically his twin brother’s child, even though he was the one who fathered it.

how to apply for remote jobs better
1. go to crunchbase.com, filter for companies that just raised. they have money and they're about to hire.
2. the free trial needs a card, use a bybit virtual card. Crunchbase won't track cards, so when the trial runs out you swap the email and start a fresh one.
3. pick one company a day. research what they actually build.
4. write a specific cold email. good breakdown here
5. send a linkedin dm too, hit them from both sides.
6. record a short video of yourself, why you're a fit. komodo is free and unlimited. puts you ahead of many.
it's a numbers game but quality numbers. just show up every day.

quick dev tool share
a friend invited me to FreeModel yesterday, and i've been trying it out since then.
so far, the agent experience has been pretty good, especially with Antigravity IDE.
haven't looked deeply into everything yet, but my first impression is positive.
if you want to try it too:
https://freemodel.dev/invite/FRE-db52aa08
sign up + verify your account (use telegram for verification), and both of us get $10 in credits 😄
