My favorites are the ones that reference my joke GitHub projects (like evil.css https://github.com/tlrobinson/evil.css/ https://github.com/tlrobinson/evil.css/
) as if they're the pinnacle of my achievements (I have actually worked on notable open source projects, but they're not hosted under my personal GitHub account...)
Facebook:
I came across your Github profile and I noticed your long-stack-traces and evil.css projects have been gaining quite some traction on Github.
Fitbit:
P.S. Cool to see long-stack-traces and evil-css getting some love!
unnnamed venture-funded startup:
I found your profile on Github and I like all the work you've done with JavaScript and node (and especially evil.css)
This one actually seemed genuine:
Oh man, I remember evil.css. A guy I used to work with set it as my Safari user stylesheet, then forgot about it. I don't use Safari all the time, so it took me a while to realize something was wrong, and even longer for that guy to remember what he'd done to my machine. So uh... thanks for that. :P

- jogjayr 10y agoYeah, that's mostly my reaction too. OTOH, there's no reason that sort of email can't be generated from a list of templates either. My favorite was when a recruiter obliquely referenced something I'd once tweeted complaining about recruiter spam.
- foldr 10y agoI don't see how that's so bad. They took a bit of time to mention some of your projects. Obviously they're not going to study them in detail.
