Guy doesn't seem to understand what a "work persona" is. I wouldn't want to date my own work persona let alone anyone else's.
I don't even have a linkedin work persona. its an online resume as well as a way to stay in touch with coworkers mainly by getting or giving recommendations. I don't get why anyone posts there.
Once you're above a certain level of wealth, you don't need a worksona any more. Getting fired is just a temporary setback. The terrifying truth is that some people are actually like this; they think they are their careers. ML isn't just the thing he does, it's a part of who he is.
I mean I have a dual major science degree and worked in the field. It is the type of field where it is sorta who you are. Unfortunately like a lot of things its so enshitified no one should really do that anymore.
