I agree, and have tended to keep a low profile online. Unfortunately, much like the unspoken rule to code in your spare time (the subject of Emily's video), it seems like there's always pressure to have an online non-coding presence including blogs, twitter, etc...

That's why I briefly wrote about side projects at ${myname.tld} when I was on the job market a few years back, and why I suspect I'll be back at it at some point in the future.

In many cases, it's all just a way to stand out in a pile of resumes, which is disheartening in and of itself. That for many women it turns into outright harassment is disgusting and a reflection of the worst that internet anonymity has to offer.
