Hey Toni, Founder of source{d} here. First of all my apologies for the bad experience. This should have not happened. We're a team of developers ourselves (no recruiters) working on making sure that these kind of situations don't happen to any developer (we started this because we were fed up with the bad practices in recruitment). We're definitely not a bot, I can promise you this. Every email gets read by a developer themselves (our team: http://sourced.tech/about) and personally answered. If you send me an email (eiso@sourced.tech) I'll personally figure out what happened here.

FWIW I've also had what felt very much like automated mails from your company. I've started marking them as spam after the first two.
Same, I got one asking if I was interested in a job the other side of Europe. Nope. Interesting idea for a product though
I got one saying my experience with Go would "be a good fit" with a company.

My Go codebase at the time, on that account, consisted largely of hacky products, no tests, no web-server stuff, high coupling and complexity, and below average documentation. If that indicates experience with a language, I'm almost afraid to ask what WOULDN'T be a good fit.

That, and their stated "real-time" requirements for said company's product made me laugh.
