X DM outreach with conversation history awareness — references the KOL's recent post, asks a real question, no pitch in DM #1.

Hey Jeff,
Saw your "100 seconds of Bun" hit a million in 8 days — the framing of "imagine if Node was actually fast" is the cleanest dev-tool pitch I've seen all year.

Open to a 15-min call next week?
No spam. One email when it's ready.
