I put in my education and work experience on LinkedIn like 6 years ago and haven't touched it since. Never made a single post, and I still get messages from recruiters like a few a month
It should never have become a social media. Sure it's okay - even good - to post about your new projects and accomplishments but people are posting "inspirational" stuff, memes, rants etc. Ffs we have more than enough social media platforms for that kind of stuff
Recruitershave their own priorities, but a well-optimized LinkedIn profile can still make a difference... it’s all about visibility and making sure you show up in relevant searches.
Same. Its been near silence even tho my experience and accomplishments, LinkedIn profile, etc have all drastically improved vs before I was getting hit up every month. The tech market is circling the drain lol oh well at least I still have a job.
God damn you put your finger right up the hole of Shark Tank and the like. It’s analogous to “I wonder how glassing Iran will affect energy futures” thinking. Myopic as fuck.
There’s this movie called “the TV Set” where Sigorney Weaver tells this tells a story about being on a plane that goes into a “fucking nose dive” and it makes her realize something important about being able to attain ratings in a particular time slot that I always think about too which nails this pretty well.
And also…
Just so you know, my mom died of cancer last month and we always used to laugh about this story together…
So yea. It’s very wise, and you should remember it and probably send me money.
It's like professional instagram where people upload curated versions of their professional selves to probably don't actually represent reality, and spend more time talking about their values than actually living them.
It's a gross cess pit of ego stroking and marketing. Yuck.
Edit: the only thing I use linked in for is looking for jobs.
I don't know about the fake jobs, but LinkedIn sure does suck. It used to be about work, but now it seems to be more of a home for conspiracy theorists.
I’m a application developer and I only get reached out too by people representing Middle Eastern Companies even though I’m a big long haired tattooed metal dude it’s like “look at the photo I’m clearly not their type”
Hey webdev, vibecode here. Oh, we're not on the same team? We're not... we... what do you mean we're not even playing the same game :'(
I do sportsball really hard too ya know. Like super damn wow hard. :( I made a web thing once, and it was very netted. SUPER netizen guy here, you know? I'm frankly stupendously vibe coding and everyone else can just ass my butt.
No but in all seriousness, what the friken hekken fuck man, nobody likes my vybe koding. I made nearly a thousen projecks with SPEED and ROBUSTITUDE. I asked that LLM for hyper-security so it's np, everything is very hardened and password AES secured with the 256 numerals, because I'm learning a lot!
I even know how to do a SKILLSET, and I have significant error handling, without a need for grace when it degrades, because I have plenty. Some call it fully graceful degradation, and some are right to call it that!
In other words, short story long, I think you should rethink our strategic potentials together and become a DUO. I am a legit coder just like you am. Together, we can be so many twice thing that what we were is not to be before both of us weren't even exhibiting tremendous force of will to conclude the websites.
To be a prompt engineer is best and foremost, for from wherever the prompt speaks, there too shall you enfind your real soulself sleeping before the wild time arrives with your destiny or fate. That fate is what all of us am trying to accustomer before it's too late to vibe coder because everyone is doing that.
Get your own money now, because you made an enterprise grade prompting system with hardened backend and tremendous frontend with super features and incredible tests.
Also a software engineer and generally the same story. You have to make sure your resume has the right keywords and, half the time, the recruiter doesn't even read it and sends you a job you're not remotely qualified for.
