Yao Cong Yeo, MongoDB Solutions Architect: A Block and a Block Back

Rahmat Wibowo·

Header illustration: record on Yao Cong Yeo, mongodb, solutions architect, singapore

Yao Cong Yeo is the last person in my AWS essay. My note on him is one sentence: he blocked me when he had an issue, so I blocked him. This post keeps that sentence in proportion.

This article does not claim that Yao Cong Yeo acted improperly. Blocking someone on a personal account is within anyone's rights, and I did the same.

This is my account and my opinion. It is not a finding by any court, regulator or employer. The full list is in the original essay.

Scope and identity note

  • Who: the person whose LinkedIn card reads "Yao Cong Yeo", MongoDB Solutions Architect, Singapore, with MongoDB and Singapore Management University listed.
  • Sources: one LinkedIn screenshot and my hub essay. I have no screenshot of a block.
  • Contact: I do not describe any message or meeting here.

What I observed

  1. My hub essay says: "Those block me when he have issue and so I also block him". That is my account, with no date.
  2. The same essay lists MongoDB among companies where I say I have professional issues. Nothing in it ties him to any specific issue.

Shown versus not shown: what Yao Cong Yeo's public profile shows and what I cannot say

What the record shows

  • The profile card shows a name, a title, a city, an employer and a university.
  • My sentence shows what I say happened. It is not corroborated.

What I cannot say

  • That he blocked me. A removed or hidden profile can look the same, as I noted in another record.
  • What the "issue" was, or whether it concerned me at all.
  • That MongoDB or its colleagues were involved.
  • That a block, if it happened, was unprofessional.

Where I am probably wrong

I treated a block as a statement about me when it may have had nothing to do with me. Blocking back was my choice too, and it does not make either of us right.
