I'm a specialist in low-level telco code, lots of which is written in C/Perl. Recruiters are breaking down my door, asking me if I code in Ruby (Rails). No.

  Similar story here. Have lots of experience with low-level scientific compute, ML, and network code in specialized environments like avionics and robotics. I have used Rust in production so it is listed on my skills, but mostly C/C++ and of course Python for prototyping. Recruiters saw Rust and I got blockchain spam. Nope. I've moved on to my own thing anyway, but I've still had to put an explicit "no crypto/blockchain" everywhere they might look.

    But now all the bots will see the words crypto and blockchain in your profile (or wherever) and you'll get even more spam.

      maybe there's a way to include those words like "bl0ckchain" and "crypt0" or even similar looking cyrillic letters eg: сrʏpto ʙloϲkchain from https://www.irongeek.com/homoglyph-attack-generator.php https://www.irongeek.com/homoglyph-attack-generator.php
