Hi guys, founders here, we genuinely apologize to the community for for doing this. As a lesson to other founders and startups, here is exactly how it happened:

- Through github, we selected a total of 200 devs (13-14 from each repo that correlated with an open position)- based on their commits, prior experience, etc- If they seemed like the right fit for the position, we sent them an email.

It was a dumb decision, period. And we promise to never do this sort of thing again. Recruiter spam (or any other sort of spam) sucks, and we should have known better. Lesson learnt.
