Don't Interview an Ibex

Emails

Some people can never be helped enough, some people are never satisfied, some people don’t realize that I get requests for more promo codes than Apple gives me and that a promo code has never produced enough “exposure” to have been worth the time to generate and send it, and some people don’t realize how little time I have during the day to either meet with them or respond to any emails that justify more than a few words in response.

But occasionally I get the best kind of email, and it makes it all worth it[.]

This short post by the developer of Instapaper has one of the best email screenshots ever. The key is the title of the email, which if I’d seen it, would have been the first email I opened.

It’s also a fantastic example of the kinds of requests that I’m assuming are very common to app developers.
