After coffee with a recruiter

Your input

Coffee with Sarah, recruiter at Anthropic, Tuesday. She mentioned interest in founder-experienced candidates. Want to stay in touch without being annoying. Talked about interpretability research and her dog Pippin.

Warm

Sarah — great to meet on Tuesday. The interpretability angle really stuck with me. I'm going to sit with what you said about founder pattern-matching for a bit. Give Pippin a scratch from me. — [name]

Professional

Hi Sarah, thanks for the conversation Tuesday. I appreciated your perspective on candidates with founder backgrounds. I'll be following Anthropic's interpretability work closely and would love to stay in touch as your team grows. Best, [name]

Playful

Sarah! Still thinking about that interpretability tangent. Tell Pippin he has a fan. I'll be lurking quietly in Anthropic's orbit — ping me when there's something worth bothering you about. — [name]

After a guest lecture

Your input

Heard Reid Hoffman speak at Columbia. He talked about coalition-building and the network effects of trust. Q&A: I asked how he picks who to invest his time in. He said "intensity of curiosity, not breadth." Want to send a thanks via a mutual connection.

Warm

Reid — thank you for Tuesday's talk at Columbia. The line about intensity over breadth has been rattling around in my head ever since. Grateful you took my question, and grateful to [mutual] for the nudge to reach out. — [name]

Professional

Hi Reid, I had the chance to hear you speak at Columbia this week and asked the question about how you allocate your time. Your framing — intensity of curiosity rather than breadth — clarified something I've been wrestling with. Thank you for the talk, and to [mutual] for the introduction. Best, [name]

Playful

Reid — you've ruined breadth for me. "Intensity of curiosity" is now stuck to the inside of my skull. Thanks for the talk, and tell [mutual] I owe them a coffee for the intro. — [name]
