PhoneBoy Says

@matigo I don't get friend requests from everyone, but someone from the group I met with decides to connect on LinkedIn (usually) or Twitter (sometimes).

Then again, you're not on any of these platforms, therefore not easy to find. ?

@matigo My friends and I made our .plan files a gigantic, ASCII-art middle finger.

No one uses finger anymore. I feel old.

@matigo There's always a middle finger. ?

That’s the world we’re living in: open, competitive. A world where people don’t read your cover letter — they search your name on Google and Linkedin.

What have you achieved? What comes up if I Google your name?

If nothing comes up, I’ll assume it’s because you haven’t done anything. That’s because my brain is dumb and takes shortcuts. If you don’t market yourself on the internet, you’ll suffer from the comparison with those who do.

@matigo that or steal other people's stuff, but who's counting? :P

@matigo those botnets can be sold for big bucks. :P

@matigo I think that's pretty much it.

@matigo "big data" which means a big fuck-all. :P

@matigo Nothing on my LinkedIn profile says I am a coding ninja. I don't even think I've clicked on a code monkey-type job, either. :P
