I got touched by this. I used to spend a lot of time coding (already graduated) and never felt the need to do shortcuts on finding gigs. Once I went overseas I got overwhelmed by the old employment culture and suddenly became comfortable and 'recruiter'-friendly. Now I realized that it's not working, and being a well-rounded programmer means spending a lot of time programming outside work while still keeping a balanced lifestyle.

Felt good to have finally closed my linkedin account. Can't say the same for fb though :P
