You know, technically, when you put your trash on the sidewalk, it becomes “public” property, but there’s something of a social contract that causes people to respect each other’s personal life enough not to go snooping. What kind of a world do you want to live in? One where people are afraid to have any fun whatsoever because you never know who’s going to judge a stray picture as if they themselves had never been in a similar situation.

Just because its technically possible for people with knowledge of APIs to go pulling things out of social networks, doesn’t mean it’s a good idea.

When I hire, I assume that we’ve all done things we’d rather keep amongst our friends. Instead, I’d rather focus on whether the candidate was able to balance a productive professional life w/o letting their personal life get in the way. Glass houses, boys. Glass houses…
