Here’s a less important point that was originally part of the section “Credibly signal good things about you”:
This could perhaps help reduce the likelihood that you get hired or funded for something you actually shouldn’t have been hired or funded for
It seems like in theory this could happen, if your posts provide evidence that you’re not a good fit for something
That might be good for you, for the hirer/funder, and for the world
E.g., being accepted to and starting a job you’re actually not a good fit for could be a painful experience and could slow your career progression down compared to where you’d be if you’d used the time some other way
But I’d guess that someone’s posts would rarely be a decisive factor in a negative decision about whether to hire them, fund them, etc.
And I’d guess that, when it is, that would often or usually be a mistake by the decision-maker
E.g., it might be the decision-maker interpreting a quick throwing-an-idea-out-there post from a year ago as strong evidence of what the person is now capable of when really trying
