Here’s my take on linkedIn, 1) If you are looking for a job then it’s great to use linkedIn since a lot of companies put their listings on the platform and its also perfect to remain in touch with your old colleagues 2) If you are a passionate technologist/programmer who loves to discover new technologies ,software , tools or what’s happening in the industry then I must say linkedIn might not be a great place since its more like filled with people who are just posting content to gain likes or visibility just like every other social media. Using LinkedIn does become depressing when you start seeing posts from people saying “ohh they landed their dream jobs while you might be searching for jobs and then you start comparing yourself with other people on linkedIn. You become depressed. And that’s one of the reasons I stopped using LinkedIn its nothing but a place full of people who are chasing likes LinkedIn is great for marketing and looking for jobs but if you are technologist/programmer who wants to learn something new or expand their knowledge I would suggest using specific programming related subreddits or hackernews Honestly I have gained so much knowledge just by using these platforms and I’m really thankful to people who contribute to hackernews with amazing links
