Mitchell(@mitchellsniffle):The problem with cold outreach isn't that it's cold. It's that most people ask before giving value. This person asked me to try their product, star the repo, and follow two accounts. I didn't know them or why I should care. The reality is that strangers do not care about you or what you're selling. They care about themselves and what you can do for them. Start there. Be curious about what THEY are doing. Give value based off what they do, aggressively. Then make the ask.
