Apart from fringe activist groups, who thinks of politics as something they have to make happen on a daily basis?

Yeah her post is entirely reasonable, at least depending on the industry, e.g. in my industry LinkedIn is unfortunately where most leads get generated aside from conferences, so of you’re a senior marketing person in my industry then it’s genuinely a red flag if you don’t have an active LinkedIn profile. The post on engineering is satire that kinda misses the point.

Lol so you are denigrating companies that don’t take VC funding? I imagine you’d have criticisms for companies which are VC-funded.

My company is bootstrapped which means we are forced to grow in a sustainable way, we listen to our customers and optimize the product for their experience, and we don’t have to listen to any investors.

I’m very curious why “bootstrap” would be any sort of dogwhistle.
