Brutally Honest Improvements To Make LinkedIn Worthwhile
Many a true word is spoken in jest.
It’s the job platform we love to hate.

To be honest, if I were an extraterrestrial, I’d think it was a parody site.
Let’s consider some of the more radical ways that the platform could be improved, aside from being shut down, to benefit us denizens of the grand game of software engineering and aid us in our quest to find a respectful and trusting employer who pays us market rates not just on hiring, but during our tenure too.
