On the flip side, I can't think of a single time an employer has questioned my complete lack of a public profile. For every discriminating company that thinks a saturated GitHub and routine Medium posts are meaningful heuristics, there might be at least 9 others that couldn't care less.

Yes, that is important. I agree it would be bad if employers started implicitly requiring this stuff.

A lot of employers will pass on you if you lack an easily searchable LinkedIn or Facebook profile, which is frightening. But still plenty won’t care.
