  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

    Can we stop forcing the unemployed to interact with it, please

    I go there and I start making fun of AI chuds. It keeps adding more suggested chuds in my feed.

      I don’t know that the unemployed are forced to go there, but I’d be lying if I said that I haven’t gotten a job from LinkedIn

    The downside is they tend to feed off of each other and make things even worse. It’s part of why the AI hype train is so bad is they’re ping ponging their bad ideas off each other.

    Can we just separate the social/CEO containment parts from the useful resume hosting part?

    Nah bruh they have their own private Social Network that is invite only. It’s like a $100m+ club.

  LinkedIn is worth many billions of dollars. No lottery would pay out enough money to buy it.

      There was no joke behind the means of purchase. OOP just didn’t think about that. Nuking LinkedIn would be funny tho

      So based on what we know out of the Epstein files, that’s essentially all billionaires at this point.

    If you win the lottery, and then buy winning lottery tickets with every single dollar of your original win, you may approach the table to begin negotiations.

  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.

      I don’t use windows. Is this serious or are you joking? If true, this is pretty much like TV remotes that have a Netflix or Hulu button.

  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.

  • entropiclyclaude@lemmy.wtf ⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    How? Every time I log in it’s the dumbest thought leadership - and the same copy/paste gpt slop pitched as original insight.

    source

    • Tja@programming.dev ⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      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.

  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.

  it’s the only social media I have that still has my real name attached. I use it to keep in contact with old coworkers, keep and host my resume, and I like their daily games.

    It’s not that it’s more evil than other social media, it’s just such a shit platform. Everybody is posting their performative BS to try and look professional, it’s a massive circlejerk. Nothing of value posted there

    • archonet@lemy.lol ⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Dealing with that level of performative bullshit is genuinely agonizing to me. LinkedIn is like my idea of personal hell – everyone, everywhere, up their own ass and completely full of shit, all the time – and I have resolved to never have a net worth or job title that would necessitate using it.

      Posts on it are mostly garbage, but it still seems the best place to find jobs, at least in my own engineering experience.

      It’s basically moltbook, because all those business talk wankers just post the absolute drivel their LLMs shit out anyway.

      Follow better people. Just yesterday I saw CVE analysis, a discussion about concurrency in Postgres vs MySQL and a guide/infographic about architectures for multi region disaster recovery again with an interesting discussion in the comments.

    Eh, it’s Facebook in a suit-and-tie. Rarely does anything get above the level of watercooler talk, job-fair friendly material, and hiring/training/talent influencers strutting their stuff.

    Also, like Facebook, the most useful part of it is the built-in chat. It’s hard to stand out on the “feed” if you’re not a company, and most of your networking and job hunting happens in chat. The latter is crucial since recruiters use this to screen out robots and invalid candidates, and it’s your best opportunity to do the same. And you will get feelers from crafty LLMs pushing all kinds of sketchy “opportunities.”

    Meanwhile, the slop that hits your feed is inreasingly AI-generated nonsense, awful infographics, techbro/ceo-bro influencer nonsense, and just straight-up corporate PR advertising. It would be better if people posted things, but nobody wants to say or do anything that would cost a job now or in the future.
