I'm curious how these people know your email, and that you're a programmer.
Did you contact some recruiters at some point? Where are they farming your email address from?
- ahlatimer 14y agoI regularly get generic emails from recruiters saying they came across my profile on Github, or they'll just send me an email via LinkedIn's messaging system.
- alinajaf 14y ago> Did you contact some recruiters at some point? Yes, and I've had mixed experiences with them. Some of them are great, others not so much. > Where are they farming your email address from? I make my email address publicly available, so possibly from my LinkedIn profile or portfolio site.
- Wilya 14y agoUsually, emails come through Linkedin. People mostly see my name in a Meetup group, or on my github page, and I guess they check with Linkedin for the profile. I get a few messages even though I have zero interesting projects or distinctive characteristics out there, apart from a basic "I'm a backend developer" presentation profile.
