Eh. We need to normalize posting even the risqué stuff on LinkedIn. Much better reach than a random blog or other website.

I post things on LinkedIn all the time- every day- that would turn some employers off. As a software engineer, I’m probably not getting hired anywhere, anyway. But also as a software engineer, historically I’m in demand enough that employers will overlook certain things.

We need to use our privilege, not squander it. That’s a tragedy of the commons.

I’m privileged in that I’m not only a white male and therefore automatically garner the respect of other white males, but my employment situation is such that there’s no risk of a disgruntled Karen reporting me to my employer and getting me fired because I post things she disagrees with.

Obviously this extends to unionizing too… god imagine if we had unionized before the mass layoffs, before the RTO mandates. Oh well. God bless America or something…
