Just a head's up. Massive privacy violations abound.
I knew stuff like this was going on, but it's a bit of a fucking wake-up call to realize this is how recruiters have been reaching out to me with unsolicited job opportunities. And I am legitimately scared that this is still the tech future we are living in.
Our privacy is sold to the highest bidder. We are simply cattle.
Here's an example from their site of the kind of information they aggregate.
Yes, their customers can see every time you follow someone on Twitter and who you follow, in real time. They aggregate your StackOverflow presence, GitHub, all connected email addresses, LinkedIn, everything.
I feel violated.
Like, this is an actual nightmare to me. This is one step away from a social credit system.
I have been stressing how hellish this industry actually is but this is making me seriously consider just giving up on it entirely.
I will never be able to live with any sense of privacy ever again, purely because I had the audacity to learn how to program.
