Linkedin is at best a way to display you are a legit human who has made enough friends in your career that they might want to stay in touch with you. What you are proposing seems like a great way to make your page look like it was written by a bot or a state sponsored hacker.
As far as “personal dev brand” that sounds like some main character syndrome shit to me, but I’m just a Gen Xer who has been getting hired without ever posting on LI since it’s existed so what do i know.
- dlukdsza 1y agoHarsh but fair. You're right that LinkedIn is already full of performative BS. My hypothesis: devs like you (and me - 500 connections, zero posts) avoid LinkedIn because we don't want to sound like those people. But recruiters/employers DO check it. DevCue isn't trying to make you a "thought leader." It's trying to solve "I need a baseline presence without becoming a LinkedIn bro." But if the premise is fundamentally flawed (personal branding = narcissism), I should kill this. Honest Q: Do you think ANY tool could make LinkedIn presence non-cringe for devs, or is it unsolvable?
- JojoFatsani 1y agoThe baseline presences is, you have your resume on there in the form of your old jobs and you have a reasonable number of connections to people at those companies. I don’t see myself ever finding LinkedIn’s feed worth anything.
