      Quoted for endorsement. Also note that this applies up and down the spectrum of how much recognition you would assume someone gets organically (as a function of social position, ability, community, achievements, etc).https://twitter.com/patrickc/status/1052380633253572608 …

      TL;DR: if you think someone’s work is good, and important, tell them! It really can make a surprisingly large difference and it took me quite a while to appreciate extent.

      “You probably hear this all the time but: I really enjoy your work.” I think almost literally no one has the pre-colon part be true to such a degree that it is worth saying. (Maybe A-listers in Hollywood? Certainly not folks who are e.g. Internet famous for X.)

          Meeting you this weekend was an exercise in self restraint. I built two personal cash flow businesses and then two VC businesses — all 4 have been heavily influenced by your (free) contributions

          Totally agree. I think people who think this would not be well received are only talking about the subset of cases where the sentence is followed by an ask

          I suspect even most of who I think of as A-listers rarely enough get true compliments that they’d appreciate them

          I think it’s worth saying as it’s a multiplier of the post colon.

          You probably hear this all the time, but: I really enjoy your tweets. Infosec can learn a lot from the accounting & finance world.
