2964 cold emails. 8 replies. No complaints — just facts. We often hear: “Just email HR.” So I did. Actually, I built a whole cold-emailing system: 🔹 Personalized messages with names, roles, and companies 🔹 HTML formatting, embedded resume + portfolio 🔹 Sent at midnight to land top of inbox 🔹 Spam-tested via Gmail trials Still got ghosted by 99.7%. If that much targeted effort with real projects, a live portfolio, and a resume built with intention doesn’t even get seen... Maybe the problem isn’t the candidate. Maybe the problem is how we measure initiative, effort, and value. I’m not stopping. I’m still building. Still shipping. Still showing up. But let’s not romanticize cold emailing as a magical shortcut. It’s not hustle if the game is broken. — Tejas Hande
