Yes, I think so too. That's something you can't fake easily. A longstanding reputation of pushing code to GitHub is attractive to employers. So that is exactly why I think Connor got his identity stolen. Someone, I don't know, PND, Maris, saw Connor's GitHub and liked it. And that's why they took his identity. After Connor posted this blog post, he gave a talk at a conference in Tampa.

I stumbled upon this same stuff, too. I recently found a subreddit called r slash overemployed. And it's all about people who are gaming the whole work from home thing, having two full time jobs at the same time. That is, they go to work from nine to five, but are working at two different places at the same time.

And neither company knows they're actually spending half the time at some other company. And yeah, there's articles on this r slash overemployed subreddit that tell you things like how to look productive when you're not at your keyboard and stuff. like having mouse jigglers move your mouse around for you, or how to automate some of the tasks to look productive.

Like, let's say I get a job working remotely somewhere, but then outsource my job to someone else who wants to do it for half the pay. And yeah, if I could do that, then why not get another job and outsource that to someone else? And so now I've got all these jobs that I'm doing work for, but I'm actually not doing the work for them. Someone else is doing it for me.

I mean, that is clearly unethical, but I guarantee with the wave of working from home jobs out there, That is happening. Oh, and let's not forget what happened to John Woo. I talked with him on Episode 119, and he thinks that someone from North Korea tried applying for a job where he works, who could have very well been trying to get a job there just to steal the cryptocurrency from their company.

What a weird time it's becoming, isn't it? I mean, this is just the modern world that we're in now, where working from home is more popular than ever, and it seems to be ushering a whole new set of scams. Or are they even scams? I guess if you're misrepresenting yourself, then it is a scam.
