1626226347743002626 | @ngozidozie @ulonnaya @ChijiokeD @afalli @aadetugbo @JasonNjoku Well written. Reminds me of my approach to founder reference checks. Less interested in names offered but more interested in who the latter suggest I should talk to. Good dd is a hybrid of linear & orthogonal approaches. I also trust my instincts. If my stomok does one kind…bye! | 2 |
