I thought the whole point of LinkedIn was getting a job, but that would run afoul of #7. You can ignore the rest of the crap on their website.
How ever did people get jobs before recruiters? /s
Can someone here please create a LinkedIn replacement for developers that 1. Doesn't have the spam 2. That doesn't look like it's from 2008 3. That only developers / engineers / tech folks can join 4. Doesn't try to log into your email to steal your contact list 5. That doesn't track you or your extensions / browser fingerprint 6. That doesn't have a bunch of fake "linkedinmaxxing" garbage content 7. that doesn't hav…
I feel like Github became this in the last 10-15 years.

I get why people without jobs need a LinkedIn, but I don't get why they post there constantly. Like reposting stuff, writing random thoughts, posting rocket ship emojis, has anyone ever gotten a job that way?
I've heard it makes you more visible on things like search results. Linkdin, of course, is trying to encourage interaction on their site so sounds believable that they'd do that, but i've been lucky enough to not need to care.
friends, WHEN you are asked to implement something like this at your job, which will you choose: object (& hold ground, loose job) OR comply (& keep job) as practitioners, where do we hold the line between telemetry and surveillance?
Why is my Chrome telling random websites which extensions I have installed?

If you want it to happen, we should talk requirements - what would you want from a LinkedIn NextGen? - A professional profile page - Contacts - Introductions/referrals - Ask my (sub-)network? Anything else?
A way for you to make money that isn’t ads / harvesting my data. Exportable format so I can leave if needed.

It isn’t exactly. They created a list of known extensions by their id and a file which is known to exist in that extension. The site iterates over each pair and tries to load that file, if it doesn’t error it knows the extension is installed. It’s a clever and difficult manual process, but it does bypass the security trying to prevent this kind of thing. I read that their reasoning is it exists to block users that us…
So the follow up question, is why is a random website, allowed to try and load arbitrary files?
