>Pinging a real person with sincere, earnest content and talking to them like they're a person is so much better.

I was a bigtime Rdio fan. I loved their clean design, discoverability. I pinged a real person with big list of improvements and bugfixes that was I was collecting over many months. I told them I wanted to work for them and sent them my resume.

They got back to me with "We have sent over your suggestions to our engineers, but we can't hire anyone without Python experience" .

Anyone with Python experience should know how easy it is to translate any other language experience into learning Python.

They would've been better off saying they just couldn't hire anyone at the time.
