A little bit suspicious that Catsfield looks IDENTICAL to Arbroath… 🧐 #Christmascards

#Copilot wrote me a snappy little bio... I've never once called myself a "community builder"!

A Copilot suggestion for some HTML with the line "Software Engineer, Open Source Advocate, and Community Builder" circled in red. The full code suggestion is:

Too agro? Maybe... but I'm just a bit sick of your "did you get my last email" messages, #recruiter #recruitment

A screenshot of an email reading:

Hello, the reason you may not be receiving a response is due to the facts that these are 3 unsolicited emails to an account not listed on LinkedIn and no longer actively monitored with all correctly caught by my spam filter. You're advertising a job lower level and lower paid than my current position and are advertising "hybrid" as a benefit in an industry where "remote" is common.

This is the reason recruiters have a poor reputation in the industry.

Please remove these details from your system.

I don’t understand all this #BlueSky hype. I guess I’m just really not that into metering services.
