Why would it be a sad state? Not all of us are interested in social technology, not all of us want to write content for a blog or website, and not all of us want to share the details of our lives with others online.
- freshhawk 13y agoI was referring to not having your own website, not other social networks. When I'm hiring I definitely don't expect technical people to care about social network crap or want to write content for a blog (although that would definitely be a plus if it had technical content). But not having your own website? That would be judged pretty harshly if I'm being honest. Maybe it's because I'm mostly doing this for jobs where the software is related to the internet and depends on a lot of open source software. If all you have online in your name is a LinkedIn profile then that signals a pretty profound disinterest in a lot of the things that would help them be a good fit.
- timthorn 13y agoWhat do you want me to put on my website? I'm not an active software dev these days but I think I can fairly well be described as technically savvy and do pretty complex things both for work and for fun. I do have my own domain, I host my own email, I am interested, I just don't see any need to have my own web presence.
