   Brilliant for outreach

   I often use the Hunter Google Chrome extension to assist me in discovering the contact details of new outreach targets. The only drawback is that I quite often exceed my free monthly allowance of lead requests.

• Buildling ReReview AI - chatbot to help find the best AI tools for any task or team (with GPT-4)

  Thanks for the note. Generally best to just describe the task (need to improve the system prompt to always only return tools). Here's the response I got: https://imgur.com/a/NyHBCe2 (https://programming-helper.com/ , https://explain.dev/ , https://tldrdev.ai/ , https://code-mentor.ai/) In addition to the categorization and summary (driven by GPT-4), it takes into account performance metrics of the tool (visits,...

• Why don't there seem to be any courses based around the idea of maintaining and extending legacy software?

  Agree with so many of the comments here. I believe the way to equip folks to be productive with legacy code is build tools that replicate the goodness of an experienced engineer while on the job. Supplement the help available and ensure the person onboarding is benefitting from the questions that were asked by new folks before them. I started building the tool here: explain.dev While courses could help you feel... Source: over 3 years ago

• Clearbit Is Now HubSpot-Only: A 1-to-1 API Migration Map for Teams Getting Locked Out

  A few things worth flagging: PDL beats Clearbit's historical rates for US and Western European companies, but drops to ~52% match rate for Japan and South Korea specifically. Apollo underperforms on raw company matching but returns significantly more contacts per domain in Prospector-style queries than Clearbit's Prospector ever did — the tradeoff is more stale titles in the result set. Hunter.io is fast and cheap... - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago

• Reverse Email Lookup Shootout: Hunter, Clearbit, Datagma, and PDL Tested on 500 Real B2B Addresses

  The real conclusion I'd push back on from every vendor comparison I've read: there is no single tool that solves reverse lookup at 80%+ accuracy with clean data. The waterfall is the answer. The question is whether you build it yourself with PDL + Hunter.io + Prospeo, or use a platform like Clay to abstract the plumbing — and whether you're willing to pay FullEnrich's premium for that abstraction. - Source: dev.to / 2 months ago

• How to Build an OSINT-Powered B2B Prospecting Workflow in 2026 (Without Getting Banned)

  Last year I ran the same LinkedIn Sales Navigator export through three enrichment APIs. Apollo matched 61% of the emails. Hunter.io matched 54%. An OSINT-first pipeline I'd built in n8n — pulling from public sources before hitting any paid API — matched 79% and cost roughly $0.003 per contact. The delta wasn't magic. It was sequence. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• Zero-Budget Strategies for Avoiding Spam Traps with Go

  Start with diligent email list hygiene. Remove invalid, dormant, or unengaged addresses regularly. Use free verification tools like NeverBounce or Hunter.io — many of which offer limited free API calls — or build your own heuristics. - Source: dev.to / 6 months ago

• Complete Tutorial on Mailto Links: What They Are & How to Use Them

  By putting a mailto link out there, you also share your contact details with any legitimate outreach specialists that wish to reach you. Finding all your company emails hidden in the html code is as easy as a single tap on a hunter.io widget (many similar tools are also available). - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago
