How My Marriage Protects Me From Bots

A bot sends me an inappropriate linkedIn solicitation about adding fire to my marriage

A picture of a linkedIn post asking if I want to add FHIR to my marriage
My marriage is fine, thank you very much!

Does my marriage need more FHIR?

I read this as being solicited to spice up my marriage. Wildly inappropriate for LinkedIn 😂.

(FHIR is pronounced “fire”)

Originally I added my ‘Marriage to Jen’ in my LinkedIn work history as a private joke. Almost immediately it was effective in filtering sales and recruiting calls to let me know they had actually read my profile.

I’m keeping it because now it’s helping me find the bots.

The Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR, /faɪər/, like fire) standard is a set of rules and specifications for the secure exchange of electronic health care data.

I replaced the name and image the post, but the text is unchanged. The bot image is from https://medium.com/iconfinder/create-a-set-of-scalable-flat-robot-icons-in-adobe-illustrator-fb393e224d9b

Feel free to comment on LinkedIn, because they deserve it.
