Dear British Airways,

I am concerned that you have not handled my personal information properly.

Recently, I tried to check-in online on your website, but the interstitial page did not redirect me, and thus I was unable to check-in. I discovered that this was because my adblocker was enabled. After disabling my adblocker, I discovered that your check-in page was leaking my booking reference and surname to countless third parties for advertising purposes, including Twitter, LinkedIn and Google Doubleclick. I've attached for some network logs from Chrome's web developer console for some example evidence.

I do not recall explicitly consenting for my information to be shared in this way, nor do I see any way to opt-out or withdraw my consent. This all appears to be a violation of article 7 of GDPR for conditions of consent, which states "where processing is based on consent, the controller shall be able to demonstrate that the data subject has consented to processing of his or her personal data" and "the data

A prospective employer invited me to do a HackerRank test. Here's my proposed alternative.

Hi there! Thanks for offering me a coding assigment test. I see that this can be a useful method to compare different candidates applying for the XYZ-Role. I would like to kindly ask if you have some leeway in finding an alternative way to evaluate my coding skills? I have written a number of open-source projects/spoke at conferences/worked as a coding-teacher/did XYZ and I would love to showcase this to your engineers:

LIST STUFF YOU DID

These are just some projects I picked that demonstrate not just skill in programming but also in math, design and XYZ.

Please can I kindly ask you to check with your engineers and/or the hiring manager to perhaps have a look/conduct a code review and/or ask me to add a feature or resolve a bug?

I checked that ABC is doing a lot of XYZ and I opened a Github issue extra for ABC (LINK TO GITHUB ISSUE). I can program this feature/fix that bug within a given timeframe and then discuss the written code with one of your engineers?
