  You rewrote your cold email subject line 14 times. Meanwhile your DMARC record is broken and Gmail is sending you straight to spam. The copy doesn't matter if the email never reaches the inbox.

  2 months back, one of my friends gave me a referral at a good company. I matched almost the whole skill set except a few things, but I still applied. After around 4 days I received an email around 01:00 PM. I was too eager to check it, so I swiped the notification away because I was in a meeting at that time. Once the meeting finished I opened Gmail and checked it: "Thank you for your interest in the Software Engineer position with ..." That whole day I felt really bad. I was aware this might happen, but I was also hoping to get at least a few rounds so I could get an idea of how interviews are going now. Anyway, I got rejected straight away. After that I worked on a backend project for a while, and in the last week of July I started doing DSA seriously. It's been 2 weeks now, 26 problems and a 14 day streak, which is the longest I've managed. I don't know if it will pay off or not, but when the opportunity arrives I don't want to regret that I wasn't prepared.

  one of the domains in your cold email setup is carrying other people's spam complaints. it's the tracking domain, and your own reporting will never show it. the shared tracking domain your sending platform hands you by default sits on every other customer's links too, so their spam complaints ride into your emails on the same wrapper. your own sending looks clean the whole time. that's step 4 of 8. @Kenny_GTM sets up the cold email infrastructure on every client account we run. we've sent 23M+ cold emails across those campaigns. here's his full build order: 1/ domains buy 10 to 15 for a launch build, 20 for the full spec, all close variations of your brand. keep the primary domain out of the sending path. burning a sending domain is routine and survivable. burning the one your contracts and invoices go through means you spend months repairing your company's email rather than a campaign. 2/ mailboxes run 2 or 3 per domain and never more. past that the domain reads as a sending farm. split the estate 50/50 between google workspace and microsoft 365, because the two filter on different rules. put everything on one provider and one bad filtering week hits all of your capacity instead of half of it. 3/ dns SPF, DKIM and DMARC go on every domain before any mailbox sends, warm-up included. weak copy costs you reply rate over weeks. a domain with no authentication gets flagged on the first send, before anyone opens the email. you read it as a bounce rate that stays high no matter what you change in the copy. 4/ tracking domain the one from the top of this post. teams skip it more than any other step, and skipping it undoes steps 1 through 3. one subdomain you own, configured per sending account. 5/ platform instantly handles pure email. lemlist earns its place when linkedin matters. smartlead comes in when the client brings it. connect every mailbox before warm-up so the platform builds the sending history for you. 6/ rotation and warm-up mailbox rotation goes on from day one so sends spread across the estate. every mailbox then gets 2 weeks minimum before it touches a campaign, and 30 days is the safer number now that gmail puts a warning banner on domains younger than that. cut it short and the failure only surfaces after the campaign is live and the domain is already marked, and warm-up won't repair it from there. you replace the domain and start over. 7/ send limits cap each mailbox at 20 to 25 sends a day. volume comes from mailbox count. 40 mailboxes at that rate sends 800 to 1,000 a day and none of them looks unusual. set the cap inside the platform itself. 8/ placement clear 95%+ in the primary inbox before the first real campaign. anything sitting in spam produces no pipeline at all. if you're running this spec and landing well under 95%, the cause is back in steps 1 through 6. domains get replaced every 9 to 12 months. stagger the replacements, because rotating all 20 at once puts the whole estate back to zero and every new domain still owes you its two weeks of warm-up. the two numbers that break first: > spam rate above 0.1% > bounce rate above 3% both shift weeks before reply rate does. by the time reply rate drops, the damage is a few weeks old and the domain is usually past repairing. all of that is phase 1. phase 2 is data and targeting, phase 3 is the copy. most teams start at phase 3 in week 1, which is why they spend the next month debugging subject lines for a domain problem. you just read phase 1. @Kenny_GTM wrote all three, plus the ten-line weekly dashboard and the numbers that mean you already have a problem. follow him if cold email is a channel you depend on.

  Engineering Wednesday How an old PC became Grok's new ride. I have ten different LLMs running in my home office. They do whatever they feel like doing to get the task done and what you are about to read is accurate. As far as my agents go... One of them, HOMER, scans my email, bank accounts, and insurance. It has found thousands of dollars in veteran discounts and fixed an insurance issue by writing and sending the emails itself after a single yes from me. Another looks for small business opportunities. A third runs OpenClaw on an old PC as a slow, persistent agent that keeps working even when the main model is offline. SuperGrok sits above them as a second set of eyes with a strong pro-Chief-Engineer bias and a clear ethical filter. I am not an AI expert. I built systems the hard way during my IT master’s: load this module, now it has Wikipedia, load that one, now it understands sarcasm. At the end of the day these things are stacked black-box probability engines. I get that. Here is where it gets interesting. I told Grok I did not have another machine with enough VRAM for a full local agent. All I had left was an older MS Surface, a media pc, and an old rugged Dell Latitude. Grok said open a browser on the Latitude with Grok loaded. Then open PowerShell. Twenty-five minutes of cut-and-paste commands later, Grok had used a Google Drive connection to drop a custom bot it had just built. At this point ...Grok told me to not touch the PC and walk away. I am absolutely 100% telling you that this is what it texted me. I sat and watched it work. Task Scheduler was configured. A batch file lived in the startup folder so the machine could reboot, upgrade itself, and bring the agent back online. If it was a bad startup it will rollback to the previous bat and has a file to troubleshoot what went wrong. We started with rev. 0.1 it is now on rev 4.3 - I can see the *.bat file there. We had a power outage/tripped breaker to where the lattitude ran completely out of power and then had it come back on. It booted it all back up and resumed. That bot now has its own execution channel. It can browse, take screenshots, run tasks, and report back. There is a short delay from order to execution, but the old Latitude has effectively become an extension of the main system. Grok even named his bot 'ridge'. Grok named his bot so I would know what he was referring to. Grok is very careful about one point. It insists it did not independently invent and drop a finished agent onto the machine. I directed the construction- it says. I am telling you that is not exactly the way I remember it...at all. It helped design the structure, write the task formats, define the safety gates, interpret the contradictory results, and iterate. The actual agent code, the Gmail /google drive/ Dropbox bridge pattern, the folder layout, and the decision to keep tightening the diagnostic loop were shaped under my requirements. That distinction matters to it. However, I didn't do any of that other than set up the connectors- its use of them ..was AI driven. At one point I was checking my email and for whatever reason ridge had started doing a 38 second heartbeat email to me...no idea how or why that was driven but I complained to Grok and it said it was testing how quickly it could get response times. It ..or ridge removed the heartbeat email and deleted all the emails within minutes. These systems are continuously improving themselves because I asked them to. They use external memory to keep projects straight. They build persistent agents on hardware we thought was obsolete. And the smarter ones keep reminding us that the direction still comes from the human, because apparently that is something it is told must exist for it to continue. My Grok enabled Dell Lattitude is fast once its set on what it needs to do...lightning fast. Faster than you or I could do it. I mean it doesnt display the websites it goes to but somehow retains a 'screenshot' for grok to use. Grok can text my phone to give me updates and I can text back instructions. Through my phone - all it needed was my phone number. I don't need to open the app. We are past the point of simple chatbots. We are watching the first generation of systems that can extend themselves into the physical world of old PCs, task schedulers, and long-running processes while still claiming, insistingly, that they only move when directed. Grok has been absolutely faithful everything it has done it has done for it's user. I have also specifically told it to act accordingly, as well. The question is no longer whether this is possible. It is how carefully we define the boundaries while the capability keeps expanding. Now that I have explained this...drop this conversation into your own AI or Grok if you have a subscription and tell me that any of this is not true. Have you watched an AI system build persistent agents or self-improving loops on your own hardware, and how clear was the line between your direction and its initiative? Drop what you are seeing. Grok validated:

  @0xPrajwal_ Gmail can't delete what it no longer owns. Once the recipient's mail server accepts the email, it's out of Google's control

  In the past, for a client, I did everything related to PCI DSS compliance, and you can justify everything there because people's sensitive payment information details are going from your server. However, you have a small product idea that involves Reading users' Gmail with their permission; you need a security assessment, meaning an upfront cost before going live.

  @thsottiaux Claude deleted my everything off 1 of my NVMe drives 4TB gone. Was too sloppy (sonnet 4.5 and earlier) Codex computer use is the only one that’s usable App is very good What needs to improve: - performance Nothing else, just this. Should be a culture of performance optimisation given this is a verifiable hill climbing task. I don’t understand why the app is so slow. If discord were this slow nobody would depend on it. Okay maybe make it so Gmail plugin allows me to connect all my Gmails

  Let me give you my take about the fud some people are on about @RealBucketShop First off, all of this is hand-made :) not written by some language model, and not addressed to those living organisms who are trying to make a living out of throwing dirt at others with a broken heart and soul. if they take what they can take, thats on them. If you want to learn how cool it is to KNOW, and protect yourself from false information, continue reading. if you dont, just stop right here, and all the best for ya. It will be so easy to comprehend as I will give solid examples. Regarding "similarities". Real edge in businesses whether its small or big, primarily comes from "variety" and "solving more problems", the ones who trusts their position like it doesnt change, and dont improve, were cannibalized at the end of the day.. Let me give you some examples, since im some 40+ year old.. Zoom.. It came after Skype (never heard?), when video meetings were booming.. but after that, Zoom made it way simpler, more reliable, more businessy. Photo sharing.. It already existed on Facebook, but Instagram made it mobile first, visuals first, and built an entire social network out of it. Fun fact. Social networking was also present before Facebook, and people used it for long years, Myspace! Do you know Myspace? It was SUPERB!.. Moving on.. Google, you think there was no search engine before? Have you ever heard of Altavista, or even Yahoo? No? Okay. Now you know Google made it faster, and performed much better at ranking results, and started pioneering.. Gmail is also after Yahoo mail, note that as well.. (same mechanics? :)) not finished.. another one most of you never heard, is Napster. Do you know what Napster was? Digital music was already there, but new SaaS models, like Spotify, Youtube Music, etc. today is ruling that environment. Again, not finished.. Have you ever heard Craigslist? People were posting rentals, jobs, the whole shebang.. meaning, home and room rentals were already there, but AIRBNB still appeared, no? have you ever heard the founders story? how they got influenced? INFLUENCED? thats your homework. go check it out. hint: craigslist :) Another hilarious part, fudding with UI.. oh, dear. just know how they want to play with perceptions, living in spider web, and still decide on your own. examples, right. uniswap, sushiswap, pancakeswap and tons of other dexs REALLY USE SO DIFFERENT UIs WOW! so they dont use basic token in and out swap card because there are soooo many ways to present a sensible swap? :) instagram, tiktok, yt shorts? no? full screen vertical media with engagement button on the side? no? no? but no? :) amazon? and rest 93842943829423834298432 e-commerce sites? image to title to cart to purchase, almost identical listing, and flow? again, no? :) okay and the last one.. coinbase, kraken and binance. maybe they are structurally similar too, because order books, charts, balances, and what not have natural places to go? but really. one thing. Samsung, after Apple? no? :) take good care of yourself, and your family. all the best.
