FWIW, in 20+ years of web dev, I've never had a LinkedIn or personal webpage. Got all my jobs by applying and interviewing, or through connections.
Upsides: No spam, no recruiters, don't have to play the LinkedIn hustle game.
Downsides: Never made much money, still in a lot of debt, takes months of looking and applying between jobs, can't reach old colleagues easily.
I wouldn't really recommend this approach for anyone who has a family to feed or dreams of financial success, lol. It's liberating, I guess, but has certainly made me a less attractive candidate.
