What is a Presentation of Self? It comes the book The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life by Erving Goffman.
The two primary senses of humans are sight and vision. If you take the time to write down and enumerate the ways by which people understand the internal state of others, you realize that a computer simply communicates impressions of people over long distances, some of which have limited correspondence with who a person really is. Photos could be fake. Videos could be scripted and a certain impression. You don't really see someone for who they are except in real life, talking to them for a duration.
Most people talk to or avoid certain people internally based on how they act and what they say. But once you realize the structure of communication, you feel like a robot talking to others. What was implicit becomes explicit.
So yes, a website matters, if the increasing trends for humans and human ability are greater knowledge consumption, production, network communication over locality, and so on. It reveals your internal perception, taste, intelligence, and processing of information, by which people use to judge you and ask how relation to you improves the group fitness.
Having a website selects for intellectualism. Social media is also a presentation. The question could be rephrased: Do people know you have a TikTok or Instagram?
People such as his wife and digital people have increasingly different lifestyles and diverge. Had the author made his way to a metropole or more major place, it's likely having a personal brand would've mattered more.
The point of the article is one I align with: You're writing it for yourself, 99% of the time. The other 1% is the future you. I blog for work. I don't discuss it with family. I think I'd find it very stressful answering the "why did you say that" questions. The corollary of this, is that I write notes by hand in almost every meeting I attend, and never ever read them again -But for things like IETF I do a mixture of…

Too bad Susanna Clarke got CFS, a very ill researched illness :/
No post I’ve written has ever gone viral.
I also have a personal website. If anyone notice what I've written it's a very nice added bonus. For me it's also about personal ownership of my content, and perhaps also a reminder to myself of the old internet - which I miss.
* How do I rent a motorcycle in Taiwan?
* What's a coding bootcamp like?
* What's your emacs config?
* Got any book recommendations?
* You got into Raw? How was it?
* Didn't you parents come to Taiwan? Mine are coming next month, what did you do with them?
