I don't think it's fair to judge a candidate based on their online presence. Some people are very private, or for whatever reasons prefer not to have an online presence.
Furthermore, if you judge every candidate by the number of linkedin posts and stackoverflow answers or whatever superficial metric than you will miss out on a lot of talented people.
I'm not the type who has an urge to express my opinion or feelings on anything. I've been on Youtube for years and never posted even one comment. Although I always like videos, if I liked them of course.
- markchristian 7y agoOh, I wasn't looking them up--the candidate told me that they looked me up.
- hackits 7y agoMy lawyer looked up my profile online. He loved a lot of games I made.
- reitzensteinm 7y agoWell don't hold back. What are the games :)
- hackits 7y agoWorked on: Operation Flashpoint Virtual Battlespace 2 Virtual Battlespace 3 ARMA ARMA II Side project with Titan Vanguard/Outerra. Then left the game industry. Got married, had kids, and now divorced and getting back into larger projects.
- pkalinowski 7y agoI remember spending hours and hours in Operation Flashpoint demo as a kid. Good times :)
- dorkwood 7y agoOperation Flashpoint was one of my favourite games as a kid. It felt ground-breakingly realistic at the time.
- mouzogu 7y agoOh I see, that's a fair point. Perhaps in your case it makes sense to have some presence when you know that people may you look you up. Although, I would still argue that should not be reason enough - unless that it is, you actually want to have a personal website and enjoy writing. In my case, I often feel like my opinions are so asinine and generally not worth sharing that I just don't feel the urge to set them in stone, so to speak.
