I feel like there are many devs out there who expose a lot of personal details and opinions all over the web. Maybe it’s just me, but when starting out with the internet I tried my best to separate my personal details (name, age, sex, country, ethnicity, family ties, relationship status,…) from usernames in public.
Seeing devs do it willingly and voice opinions on divisive or sensitive topics kind of messes with me. Aren’t y’all afraid of missing out on job opportunities if someone reads your opinions, code, or other stuff tied to your personal accounts? Or letting anybody (maybe family, friends, acquaintances, …) in on your personal life, mindset, opinions and other personal information?
The software industry loves hiring people who effectively dox themselves on every platform. I’m starting to compromise on my privacy values because I would rather eat food than rage against the machine at this point. Don’t even get me started on the culture surrounding Linkdin.
YIj54yALOJxEsY20eU has compromised on their privacy values by not including a special character in their username.
Don’t hate, that’s their actual name.
They’re just trying to convey they’re not THAT strong. 😂
