weird linked-in conversation

Jul 5 LinkedIn Member sent the following message at 7:19 PM LinkedIn Member Hi Oleg

We are a 12 person team of young professionals building our own company in Berlin. We are looking for another Reactjs developer to cofound with us. Would you like to hear more about it?

Best regards, Josh

Thanks for your reply! Just to confirm, you would be potentially interested in joining us? Mostly, everyone is working 10-15 hours a week on it (me 60hrs+). Would you have 10-15 hours a week available for something big?

If yes, shall we meet for a coffee to swap the info? Would somewhere central like Friedrichstrasse station be possible? Maybe during the lunch break or after work, or on the weekend.

Best regards, Josh

I know nothing about you, so I have no answer to this question.

We can start the conversation here and meet for a coffee once it gets interesting.

8:11 PM Today "Random Dude" sent the following messages at 1:44 PM "Random Dude" Well, the interesting information I will always keep to myself until meeting. "Random Dude"

  • I mean the really interesting info. "Random Dude" We can have a skype meet if you like, and I can tell you about the team and the company structure and the general problem we are solving. "Random Dude" But speaking with text like this is arduous and inefficient - for both of us right? "Random Dude" My skype is: ... "Random Dude" I would be very available for a call/sharescreen.

Well, the interesting information I will always keep to myself until meeting.

why?

But speaking with text like this is arduous and inefficient - for both of us right?

Not for me. In fact I like written form for some cases and prefer communication with sound for more human related things. Things that require deep understanding and exact communication are way more efficient in a written form. 1:56 PM

"Random Dude" sent the following messages at 2:06 PM "Random Dude" The interesting information is what we are doing that is so wonderful; the designs. They need to be kept secret "Random Dude" The human race developed spoken forms of communication. They evolved like this. Written communication much more typed communication is a very very recent invention. It obviously takes much less time to communicate something verbally. "Random Dude" I'm pretty much at the end of my patients here. "Random Dude" Apart from anything else through skype I could also communicate through pictures. "Random Dude" Are you playing with me Oleg? It doesn't sound like you are interested. 2:06 PM

Oleg Slobodskoi sent the following messages at 2:08 PM I am not interested yet, thats why I am asking for info. You didn't give me anything that would make me interested yet. 2:08 PM

"Random Dude" sent the following message at 2:13 PM "Random Dude" You seem a bit dim Oleg. 2:13 PM

Oleg Slobodskoi sent the following message at 2:14 PM I see communication between us doesn't work. I wish you all the luck.

2:14 PM "Random Dude" sent the following message at 6:44 PM "Random Dude" Oh, I forgot to add conceited
