Apologies in advance for the negativity, BUT....

I wonder how many people honestly believe that they are doing good "social proof" work for their career when they publish pieces like this.

However, many of these read as insecure, pedantic, and a decent lack of self-awareness on the authors part. Tone deaf. Pretentious SV "influencer word salad". When reviewing resumes, I always do a ton of Googling. This would have given me a bunch of soft data points that would potentially outrank his/her resume

"Full-Stack Engineering" as defined by Robin Rendle - would have been a more honest title, but no one would have clicked.
