The only thing LinkedIn gives me is spam from trashy recruiters. The ones trying to fill a quota and do not actually read your profile. They are given a job requirement “Java” and fire a bunch of bullshit messages at anyone who tagged the skill.

The first line of my “About Me” is a test, and 100% of recruiters who message me have failed to even read that very first line. And when I call them out on it, they always want to “schedule a call” to “sync up about future opportunities”. I’d rather they all get replaced by AI that will actually know how to read what’s on the damn website.
