- mattip 13y agoThanks. Also available here, from 2009 http://steveblank.com/2009/06/29/agile-opportunism-entrepreneurial-dna/ http://steveblank.com/2009/06/29/agile-opportunism-entrepren...
- gotrecruit 13y agoso you knew where an alternative source of the same post is, but chose to make that completely unnecessary post about how you don't read articles on LinkedIn, while pretending you haven't read it?
- kissickas 13y agoMaybe he doesn't click linkedin links because they track and report what you've viewed if you're logged in, but once it was on pastebin he was happy to give the original source.
- icebraining 13y agoMaybe he doesn't click linkedin links because they track and report what you've viewed if you're logged in All decent browsers support private tabs/windows nowadays, you can just open the context menu to open the link in one. It'd take less time than writing the post.
- prawks 13y agoI don't believe private browsing masks your IP, and I'm not sure it changes your user agent either. It's very likely LinkedIn can still track your activity if you're browsing in a Private tab.
- icebraining 13y agoEven if they track, they're not going to report it.
- yebyen 13y agoLinkedIn was on HackerNews for doing _just that_ a few weeks ago. That is, associating your IP address with your identity and tracking whose profile you clicked (to report back to them) even when you're not logged in.
- laureny 13y agoWhat's this guy asking? I don't read stupid Hacker News comments.
- 001sky 13y agoAgile Opportunism – Entrepreneurial DNA Posted on June 29, 2009 by steveblank Seems like the guy has a point. Title's been changed. And the meta-data of the source publication (http://steveblank.com http://steveblank.com) is lost in the process. About par for the course. Linkedin is a needless re-direct.
- peterwiese 13y agolinkedin is such a rotten place and such a rotten company. remember intro? remember the package full of crap they sent that guy who found a vulnerability in intro? remember what linkedin stands for? It stands for corporate America, it stands for enslaving people, especially the young. Everything about linkedin is broken, and people writing blogs on LinkedIn (what?) about how they successfully subordinated themselves for Money Inc., just makes sick and sad and sick again.
- swombat 13y agoThe summary you need is that the article is written by Steve Blank.
- chaz 13y agoI don't understand the elitism that happens around here about where content is located. It's fine to say that you don't use regularly Quora, LinkedIn, Facebook etc because the signal/noise ratio is bad or it's not something you want to sign up for. But to refuse to click a public link to even see what it is?
- prawks 13y agoClicking a link like that is essentially supporting the company. I don't think it's unreasonable to request a mirror somewhere (see pastebin below).
