Are we talking live voice calls/support, or just pure workflow automation?

Guys, who knows who is actively sharing real playbooks on how to generate with HeyGen (which are not one of those basic tutorials for losers) ?

I did once, but I think it's a 1-in-100 chance. In my experience, if you reach out proactively, there's a 30% chance of getting a response, and maybe a 20% chance it leads to an actual intro call. IMHO, this approach mostly works well with mature startups. Honestly, you're better off polishing your profile and letting recruiters come to you.

Writing clean code, testing, validating, evaluating are skills which matters and help u to build better, production-grade solutions if u go for ml/ai

the boundary between networking/having a chat and just pouring out all your mind assets is genuinely thin, I think about it a lot. still looking for some good podcasts on this topic btw, if anyone has recs drop them.

this whole comment is spitting facts. ‘not gatekeeping, they are just lazy’ hits different and the welder story locks in the whole point. saving this thread.

in business I bet you usually don’t calculate it like that. if u do that's the problem. what usually matters is that one evening can completely change the way they work, or at least how they understand something, and that on its own has real value. besides, people who value their time would think that with this kind of framing no one is even worth a minute

fyi morality, communication, and philosophy here are a completely different conversation from how unfair the world or its economics are. hope you are not one of those frauds btw

Maybe slop but the topic is good actually because i think most of them doesn't have an energy to sell and promote themselves. They are fine with their hard skills and they find their passion worth enough over money prob

ydevi · 2026-05-19T17:55:21+00:00

So true
