   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.

• SpaceX to buy Cursor AI coding agent operator Anysphere for $60B

  The thing is, even the center of the road academics who refrain from such comparisons are noting the similarity. The MAGA movement meets the traditional defining characteristics of fascio. We can be rigid and say that only Mussolini‘s political movement can be properly be called fascist. But if we call Hitler and the Nazis fascists as well, then we open the door to any movement that meets the criteria. And Trump... - Source: Hacker News / 19 days ago
