Good advice. I would agree with the author about one thing in particular: you don't need LinkedIn (or Facebook, etc.) to be on the web. Get a domain name and some hosting and put up your own site with your resume, accomplishments, hobbies and interests. That's yours to own and control.

This is good advice but I also wish companies like gitlab and github would support this for those of us who don't want to manage a site and have most reference work on git*.com anyway.

  To clarify: github already has github.io for user pages but I think you can do much more with even less effort! If anyone from github / gitlab / bitbucket/ ??? is reading this please consider this simple way of making your site more awesome: 1. Let some special repo name (e.g. me, aboutme, cv) have a special meaning. 2. If a user has this special repo make it his front page or at least link to it from hist front page. 3. If the repo has a README.md or README.rst or READM.org make it his landing page for that repo (github and bitbucket already do this). So next time I am curious about Joe Developer I know I will find him not on linkedin but on gitlab.com/joedeveloper/cv
