In some circumstances, I have heard of employers asking prospective employees to expose their social media accounts during the hiring process.
In most cases, this seems to be just a formality check of "Is this person exposing their previous company's info / making threatening statements / generally being an asshole of some kind?" or, in one case, to determine if someone was an anti-vax/anti-science type before they started a medical position.
This wasn't done by an "agency", though, and they really didn't look that deeply. In some cases it seems to come with a wink-wink, nudge-nudge "So these are tooootally all your accounts, riiiight?"
Small horses, like small dogs, are herd animals, are utterly convinced they are ten times their actual size, and will show this off at any opportunity.

Even if you're not software, knowing a little is helpful for other stuff - e.g., whipping up some quick and dirty test interfaces, or interacting with older systems with non
It also really, really helps for little things at home.
Unfortunately I cannot actually write code to save my life, but it'd be real useful if I could!

A little more appreciation for nuance, empathy, and chill when it comes to "hot" topics would be appreciated.
Like just about every day I check Lemmy, and I find some really awful, yet highly-voted take (usually on politics, sometimes on tech or something) that sends my eyes rolling so hard I could probably hook them up to a generator and get carbon-free power.
I can deal with downtimes, community drama, and needing to grow conversations. But the hostility I see almost daily turns visiting Lemmy into a stressful, not welcoming experience.
