Effectiveness of job search
- Mastodon - zero, unless you're in one of those communities of 10 people (e.g. device driver writers for electron microscopes)
- LinkedIn - very effective, if you post content on the regular, especially if it isn't all about how angry you are about the job market. The recruiters don't want to hear it. They want to hear "hey, I'm your guy, I'm talking about tech and working in tech"
- Github - Ha! ha! No one will find you there. For portfolio show-off after 1st call
