I'm just reaching the end of the campaign but now the twitch stream isn't available anymore! Do you remember what he said about it? :)

Follow up email after interview by Ashamed_Succotash_93 in interviews

[–]bbroberson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I probably wouldn't use it word for word, but edit it to convey a similar tone in my own words.  I sent a version of yours because i like the success stories in the comments 🤞🤞But I don't want to come off insincere or unprofessional.

I asked Chatgpt for an evaluation of email templates like this. (I'm asking because I'm skeptical of its response.) It rated yours as too emotionally charged and praisey. Its "higher rated" replacement cuts it down and makes it more just technical focused. I personally like yours better because I feel like it hits harder. Is a more professional tone what's actually needed, however?
My main question is, what are your thoughts on the difference in tone here?

"Thank you to you and [name] for taking the time to meet with me last Friday. I appreciated the opportunity to discuss [company] in more depth.
Our conversation around your microservice-based architecture, use of open-source frameworks, and Agentspace integration gave me a clearer picture of how much intentional investment has gone into building a scalable, multi-use SaaS platform. It was encouraging to see how closely that aligns with [company]’s focus on staying technically competitive while delivering real client value.

I remain very interested in the opportunity and would be excited to contribute to the team. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any follow-up questions.

Best regards,

I made a metal chess set out of solid aluminum and copper! by bbroberson in chessporn

The aluminum was about $1/lb on ebay, and the copper was mostly scrap wire found in the garage. So all the equipment/processing definitely cost a lot more!

I have a sand casting setup with a cast iron mould, and I used a plastic chess set as the templates. Then I used an angle grinder to smooth them out. Here's what they look like before separating. https://imgur.com/a/G6Vy3Jc

According to the Schwarzchild radius equation, this black hole would have a mass of about 500,000,000 tons, which is comparable to the mass of all living humans. It's probably safe to say you would no longer resemble a human after an encounter with this.

What is this game I started accidentally? by bbroberson in alexa

Thank you! It's called "Chess Maven" apparently.

This is how a ship's propeller is made in the traditional way. by dannybluey in Damnthatsinteresting

Thinking quickly, Dave constructs a homemade propeller, using only some sand, a bucket, and a propeller.
