LinkedIn - What a dumbster fire

This article critiques LinkedIn as a professional network where critical thinking declines due to oversimplified content, algorithm-driven bubbles, and repetitive posts. The author argues that short attention spans lead to absolute messages lacking context, citing examples like 'Use always a StringBuilder' and identical posts with minimal differences. The piece also discusses how AI and copycat behavior degrade content quality, with the author planning a conference talk on the topic. It reflects on personal responsibility for feed quality but focuses on systemic issues in the tech community on LinkedIn.
