I'm like donretag in the sense that I also seek to minimize my online profile as much as possible; thus, I don't use LinkedIn.
So no, the reality is not that it's easily accessible -- unless you're already making it so on sites that are liberal with sharing your info like LinkedIn.
- bitsweet 14y agoCoderwall never exposes personal contact information of anyone on the team, so the exposure is no greater then having a GitHub profile...probably even less.
- k3n 14y agoThat's cool, I was mainly just commenting on the LinkedIn aspect. Monster.com was probably the biggest mistake I ever made, it took 5+ years for my info to get fully removed there (or at least for the random spambot recruiters to stop spamming me).
- sahat 14y agoMonster.com is a joke.
- donretag 14y agoLuckily for software developers, we can ignore the horrible job sites. Here is an article on Monster.com and endless email: http://blog.brusic.com/2012/07/how-private-is-your-online-job-profile.html http://blog.brusic.com/2012/07/how-private-is-your-online-jo...
- donretag 14y agoExactly. "information is easily accessible on LinkedIn". Unless LinkedIn has some psychic abilities, LinkedIn only knows what I voluntarily add. My LinkedIn profile contains only company names, dates, and titles. No descriptions. No StackOverflow. Github is used to share code with those I know, not some vanity site. I work with an amazing team, but you won't find us online (except for mailing lists or slides from talks).
