I don’t think we want to close the recruiter & c-suite containment system
It does a great job of keeping them all in one place so we can leave them to their fart sniffing and occasionally visit like it’s a zoo
This is one of the few good things having the same job for 20 years has been. Never needing to create a linkdin account. I’ve been told in the past it’s still good to have, but i think that period of time is long gone. Glad i never gave them my info and time.
I don’t know how you guys use LinkedIn but for me it got me two job changes where I more than doubled my salary (via recruiters) and I find much more interesting technical discussions than on any other social platforms.
If you only follow recruiters and salesmen you get what you follow.
How? Every time I log in it’s the dumbest thought leadership - and the same copy/paste gpt slop pitched as original insight.
Same as most social media sites: Stop following those people, find a community about a topic you are interested in (IT is overrepresented, but anything engineering related is quite well represented) and follow the people who post valuable things.
In case you’d like to know just how fucked the entire Linkedin edifice is, now is once again the time to trot out this piece of trivia.
Windows users only: Hold down all four modifier keys on your keyboard, Ctrl + Alt + Shift + Win, and press L.
You can never unlearn this piece of knowledge. You’re welcome.
LinkedIn is worth many billions of dollars. No lottery would pay out enough money to buy it.
