Links are where a visitor goes to check you out. Treat the section as a short list of things you
would actually want opened.

## What belongs

- **GitHub**, if you write code. The single most-clicked link on a technical profile.
- **LinkedIn**, because it is where people verify a career.
- **A personal site or portfolio**, if it is current.
- **Where you publish** - a blog, a talk, a paper.

## What does not

- **A link that 404s or redirects to a parked domain.** Worse than no link: it suggests nothing here
  has been checked recently.
- **Six social accounts you do not post on.** An empty account is a data point about you.
- **A link to a document that could just be your profile.** If it duplicates what is already on the
  page, it is asking a visitor to do work twice.

> **Note** - The link most profiles are missing
>
> Somewhere the reader can see your actual work - a repository, a portfolio, a published piece. Every
> profile has LinkedIn. The one that shows the work is the one that changes a decision.

## Check them when you review

Links rot silently. Nothing on Revquix checks whether they still resolve, so a dead link stays live
on your profile indefinitely. Opening each one is a two-minute job worth doing whenever you touch
the profile.
