   Essential Professional Network — Valuable but Sometimes Noisy

   I use LinkedIn almost every day for career networking, following industry news, and job hunting, and overall it’s been very useful. It’s the go-to place to connect with colleagues, recruiters, and professionals in your field — and I’ve gotten valuable opportunities just from profile visibility and posts.

   The job search tools are solid, with alerts and recommended roles based on your profile. It’s also handy for building your personal brand by sharing content or engaging with discussions in your industry.

   That said, LinkedIn’s feed can sometimes feel noisy with overly promotional posts, irrelevant updates, or recruiters spamming every connection. And while the Premium subscription adds features like InMail and deeper insights, it feels pricey if you’re only occasionally job hunting.

   Overall, LinkedIn is a powerful professional platform that delivers real value, but it’s not perfect

   🏁 Competitors: indeed

   👍 Pros:    Excellent networking and career-building platform.

   👎 Cons:    Feeds can get cluttered with irrelevant posts or spam.

• Screen-free coding for children: the xylophone maze

  And https://codecombat.com, which has been around for a while now. I think this paradigm (navigating a character using "move" function invocations) is good but kind of exhausts its usefulness after a while. I question whether my daughter learns coding this way or just is playing a turn based top down platformer. The most code like thing is when you use 'loops' to have characters repeat sequences of moves. I... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• What can I do?

  So now, while you have time (yes you have no time now but when you are out of school working with a child and or no summer vacation you will have less time) you can try MIT Scratch or CodeCombat and learn to code. For you it's a long the goal is to make 1 app or a handful of apps in 4 years until you graduate. That's absolutely doable even for someone who knows 0 about coding. Then when you graduate, if you are... Source: over 2 years ago
