God, the number of techbros here who are confident in their ability to resist targeted attacks from sophisticated national intelligence agencies is terrifying, but also explains a lot about why Silicon Valley is the way it is.
@mattblaze I've been involved in marketing to techbros, directly or indirectly, for most of my career. The fact that they consider themselves too sophisticated to fall for marketing is the key to marketing to them.
@bmac@mattblaze You might want to listen to a phone call I got from a telemarketer's manager(?). I'm not sure if his rant was due to me telling them I'm on the do not call list, me asking them how they got my phone number and not talking about anything else, or the result of me filing an FTC complaint citing repeated calls.
