This email that I just got seems relevant to the current thread on
recruiters. I'm sure most of you receive these already, but for
those of you that don't, I get these cold call emails from
recruiters every other day or so ... <br>
<br>
I notice they are starting to mention github more and more, but the
recruiter gets my name wrong ... makes me switch off immediately ...<br>
