Re: LinkedIn breaks because of too many tracking cookies
#2Seeing the tracking data report from mobile Safari was quite a thing to behold. There is quite a valuable service in LinkedIn, but quite annoying to use currently. Also had the experience on the mobile version where it just plain stopped rendering input text, which was quite interesting to type through.

#3This is the 'fun' part of having many engineering teams with full autonomy of various subsystems, and with no prior discussion, they decide to start writing cookies. Running in isolation, their single service may not blow the limit. But it's a shared resource and generally nobody is keeping track of when that 8kb limit is reached.

What value do you think LinkedIn provides?

It's basically the who's who in business. I find it very hard to avoid and I'm not actually on Facebook, Twitter etc...
I never post anything but when applying for a new job you can't really do without. A HR rep will not blink twice if you're not on Facebook. But no LinkedIn? They just won't take you seriously or think you have something to hide.

Remembering who's been on your team before

#7I don’t understand why LinkedIn is and need to be so heavy and slow at all. In a way, similar to Facebook I guess?
Even though they provide several services - social network, jobs (for hiring managers and jobseekers), learning etc., none of them really have any tight integration with each other and can easily exist as separate services.
The website and apps are clunky and slow to load and has tons of dark patterns (contacts upload, profile visit tracking, everything over-shared by default, email blast when you sign-up etc.). I have heard LinkedIn hires lot of bright people and pays them quite well - but why their product still sucks?

Sounds like you are drinking the linkedin kool-aid. Recruiters and hiring managers don't care if you have a linkedin account or not. Some recruiters pay linkedin to find and spam people, but that's about it.

No they don't.
But the internal HR people often do. I've seen them checking my account after I applied somewhere.
The problem with the application process is getting past the initial HR. They don't usually give all the CVs to the hiring manager. This is the part I worry about.
It depends on the company and the HR person of course but I know one and they told me it's far better to have one.
