I also had unsolicited spam from Vincent Jiang of Aden, another YC company.

    Hi Daniel,

    I just came across your profile on social media and wondered if you'd be interested in joining our Discord community for AI agent development. Currently, we see that agents break, loop, get lost, hallucinate, and cost a fortune, and therefore built a space where developers can share challenges and insights.

…and more from Backdrop.

    Hi Daniel, I found your GitHub profile while searching for anthropic projects, and got your email from your profile.

    I'm part of an online program for builders called Backdrop Build, and I think that program would be a great fit given what you are building. We have a track for builders in AI like you, it's fully online/remote and costs nothing to participate. It also works if you have a day job, it's light on time and perfect for side projects!

And then another after I marked the first one as spam and ignored it.

    Checking in one last time to see if you have any questions about the program or the application. If it's not for you, all good - just ignore the email because I won't be pinging you again :)

   Joey from Backdrop

Both companies have guaranteed that I won't use their services nor procure them for any organisation I work for.

Hey it's Joey checking in again. We noticed you mentioned our company, let me know if you have any questions about our (free!) program. I'll go ahead and email you some more info, just in case.

I had a similar one from that guy asking me to make open source PRs to some repo of theirs for, err, $25-50/hour. I replied explaining that senior software engineers in the UK aren’t quite as desperately poor as that, and got a canned response saying that they were looking forward to reviewing my PRs :D

Blows my mind that you guys are so expensive lol.

SWE salaries in the UK are fairly unsurprising as they tend to be more or less in the range of other professional salaries. If they’re high from a worldwide point of view that’s just because most of us are in London and London is a high cost of living city.

Hi git,

I just came across your profile on social media and wondered if you'd be interested in joining our Discord community for AI agent development. Currently, we see that agents break, loop, get lost, hallucinate, and cost a fortune, and therefore built a space where developers can share challenges and insights.

So far, more than 8,000 members are sharing technical insights, agent templates, and tooling on a daily basis. We're also open-sourcing new toolings based on everyone's feedback.

Let me know if you are interested in joining; you can find the Discord link invite on our site (Adenhq).

Best, Bryan Zhang
