It's important to have boys around sometimes, to give good advice

- Talked to a South Asian coworker yesterday at work. Told him about the texting situation. His advice was good.
- Forget ego, he said, throw the ball in their court. Gave a decent perspective on people worth pursuing.
- Even checked up after; it was solid advice.
- Often avoided conversation on tips and techniques as such with folks. But they know what works! They help put things in perspective. Practical advice is so much better than high-level theory-crafting.
- In the future, I'll reach out to providers of decent advice for an opinion, a perspective. Not much to lose, lots to gain!
