On: “But lawyers know nothing about tech ”

>Pretty much every day, I read something to the effect of "lawyers are clueless when it comes to tech lol".

<chuckle> Read the article, seems reasonable.

Connect with Neil on LinkedIn -> 404 page.

All righty then.

In this case, that's because he's got rid of his Linkedin account since that article footer was written (I follow Neil via Mastodon, he discussed it there).

(edited for missing word!)

… and the article footer being constructed, so that it can become outdated would seem to imply a somewhat limited understanding of technology

Do you take the time to make your blog footers dynamically check if your social media profiles still exist? I sure don't.

[noizejoy → lolinder]

If the blog footer is intended to contain links to identity, I'd make that whole footer dynamic and then I'd just keep a single source for that.

Alternatively, arguably better: Keep a master domain for each identity and update social media accounts for that identity on a page in the master domain.

Of course not all lawyers are the same. There are some that really do get tech. Or more like the niche they specialize in, because the days of being a polymath are over, the tech world is way too large and complex these days to know it all.

That said, I thought exactly the same reading the article. If he thinks he's already one of the more tech savvy ones, that only proves the point of the article he's criticizing.
