Career and social life should be completely and utterly separated. The content on your social media page should have no bearing on your ability to perform the job at hand.
Quite honestly, an employer that even looks at your social media profile to do a sort of casual "character check" on you, is not one that you should want to work for in the first place.
Especially true in the realm of IT, where there just simply aren't enough solid, responsible people to fill the need.
This article presents a nice thought, but on principle, I'm just gonna keep doing my thing outside of work (documenting what I want on social media), and crushing it AT work. My career should be growing based on job performance, not that one time I accidentally got too drunk at a bar.
