New comment by bradleyankrom in "Giving up on smart rings"

It's more or less expected that candidates have one, at least in tech/eng jobs I've looked at. For some, the field to enter your profile URL is required in the form.

I don't know about satanic, but there are definitely some cult-y, brainwashed-y vibes.
