How to Contact David Heinemeier Hansson

Choose one narrow angle where your experience is clearly useful to David Heinemeier Hansson. Avoid broad positioning; one sharp contribution beats ten generic claims.

Use this as your foundation: Connect through 'The Autonomy of the Sovereign Developer' and 'The Defiance of Cloud-Rent-Seeking'. He values logical 'Human-Scale' code, the 'No-Hype' utility of persistent AI agents, and a 'Low-Friction' deployment model (Fizzy/HEY). Accessible via HEY World, Ruby/Rails community forums, and elite endurance racing paddocks.

Create one concrete proof-of-work asset before outreach. This can be a short teardown, a practical proposal, or a relevant case study.

Distribute that work where the right people actually see it: Ruby on Rails 2026 Strategy Reveal, OpenClaw Framework Implementation Summit, HEY World Developers' Meetup (London/Amsterdam).

Keep the first message short and specific. Lead with context, show proof, then ask for a small next step.

A strong opener is usually a focused question: Ask about his 'OpenClaw' project and how he views the success of AI agents signing up for HEY accounts independently in early 2026.

If there is no response, do not spam. Improve your proof and follow up in 10-14 days with a clearer signal.

Maintain the relationship through relevant updates around Endurance Racing and Porsche Performance, Developing Sovereign Linux Distributions (Omarchy), The Economics of On-Premise Hardware. Small, consistent value compounds over time.
