On: Why are technical recruiters so clueless?

[ZachPruckowski]

There's like a one-in-tens-of-millions chance of that working. But it takes 5 seconds to send the email, and I imagine "I recruited DHH" is worth millions. So you quickly wind up with math suggesting that sending that email was worthwhile in terms of $/hour.

From the email, it's obvious that the recruiter had no idea who DHH was and was just hitting a list of "ruby programmers".
