Yeah mine news feed has turned into a condescending stream of thoughts buried under the empathy offering agendas.

Has anyone else noticed that LinkedIn is turning into a shitty social media platform? Memes and videos are now being posted. I used to get decent use from it but stopped updating my profile because the site is cancer. Full of self patting on the back and people adding me to “grow their network”. Recruiters contacting me with “perfect fit” position in languages not on my profile. Can someone please develop hacker news…

Lmk if you have any feedback as well!

I think his point is valid though. While I see C# listed all the time on normal job posting sites, on HN it's always the sexy meme languages like Rust and Python.
None of those are “meme” languages. I appreciate Python started-off as a toy-like language - but its utility as a glue-language for serious number-crunching (see: how almost all ML projects involve Python somehow) and the admirable community surrounding it means its credibility is established. The worst thing anyone can say about Python is that it’s the new VBA. Rust is the new C++ - Microsoft wouldn’t be investing t…
It did not. It started as a language do system administration for the Amoeba operating system.
Here's part of the README for the first public release (0.9p1, available from python.org):
"This is Python, an extensible interpreted programming language that combines remarkable power with very clear syntax."
"Python can be used instead of shell, Awk or Perl scripts, to write prototypes of real applications, or as an extension language of large systems, you name it."
Can we expect folks impacted by these layoffs to post to linkedin about how great the experience of a layoff is?
I don't know if they are still doing it but very many years ago, they'd give you LinkedIn Premium for life. No access to internal tools like DopeFlows and Merlin but honestly that was over half a decade ago, I bet most people that work there didn't even know they existed.
I really admire the creative bullshit these execs come up with, AI can't compete: "This means adapting our organizational structures to improve agility and accountability, establishing unambiguous ownership and driving improved efficiency and transparency through reduced layering".
That doesn't even read that bad IMO. They are recognizing that they're organizationally bloated today and are laying people off to be more cost-effective. Pretty straight forward.

> Recruiters contacting me with “perfect fit” position in languages not on my profile. You're certainly entitled to your opinion, but not everybody is bothered by that. Most languages popular nowadays (C#, Javascript/Typescript, Java, C++, etc.) are popular partly because most devs can jump between them pretty easily. Definitely not defending Linkedin, though.

What is the next best platform to move to?
Meatspace. I don't think any digital platform is ever going to fill that role. By default anything online is already way less genuine feeling.
Easy to say flippantly, but my colleagues (let alone my network) are distributed across 10+ countries on four continents. My local 'meatspace' has nothing to offer me career-wise. A professional network needs to be online.
