Got back on LinkedIn. What an advertising shitshow that platform has become. It's really more about capturing your data, pushing Microsoft products, pushing paid advertising, and a venue for job search/head hunting, than a professional connection site. I know that it was always that way, but the signal to noise ratio seems much worse than before.

I've noticed GitHub is going quickly in that direction as well. Everything Microsoft touches turns to shit. No wonder IBM took over OS/2 development.
