I stopped posting frequently when I realized I was putting my name on a thing in a public database, and that most hiring processes these days involve putting my real name in google and looking at whatever pops out. I still post nowadays, but it's usually under a pseudonym, from a VM, through a VPN, over HTTPS. I should probably look into encrypting my DNS too. Nowadays when I'm posting in the clear with my real name I usually stop and think "Would someone hire me if they read this?" and then delete everything I wrote and just move on with my life.

Good thinking and it's a rule I live by. I do not share anything digitally that would backlash if revealed. Also not in private digital spaces. Not in work chat. Not even on a private device in a note. Nowhere. Digitally, I do not gossip. I have no political opinion on divisive topics. I have no nudes. I don't swear in game chat. There is no smoking gun to be found at all even if you get full access to my entire digital life.
