Canary Skill Endorsements

This is my blog. There are many like it, but this is mine.
Reminds me of this one I recently received:
> Ich habe mich auf GitHub, Stack Overflow usw. umgesehen und habe Ihre Kompetenzen in Puppet bemerkt. Sie interessieren sich auch noch für Python und Style, super!
Ha! I knew it – I have Style! :)
…and the fact that he listed Puppet clearly tells me the recruiter just sent out automated SPAM instead of actually looking at my profile – the last time I worked with Puppet is 3-4 years ago.
