I wrote an email to Mike Pall once and got a very refreshing reply.

Daniel Stenberg is not on the list but he is also a very active programmer on social media like LinkedIn that you can interact with.

This is the way! Email is great. I've written to many famous people, and from time to time, gotten replies. I've sold SaaS and consultants for 100s of k of USD, all through emails. It's an elegant weapon, for a more civilized age.

Yeah, surely this will come to an end soon. My personal email is full of AI-generated recruiter email. I still read all my email (well, not the Updates or Promotions tabs in gmail), but I 'm not in any way famous.

Pro tip! Don't share your email with recruiters, and you won't get AI-generated recruiter emails. I get about 1 spam message every 2 months or so.
