@sean_ae @logickal On the rarity I have to sign into it for work, I usually wind up seeing modular synth vids posted by Richard Devine, so there's at least some semblance of light in that endless scroll hellscape.

@sean_ae Career bullshitting, and self-debasement, in the hope it will get you a better job. It won't.

@sean_ae @ben over the wall is an Echo & The Bunnymen song but more importantly Boil The Ocean is dope

@ben @sean_ae it me. I keep one for some reason though I don’t plan to work anywhere that wants it. I had to get it for a continuing education thing. Ugh.

@sean_ae Signaling to my management that I'm a flight risk by updating my resume.

@sean_ae its used quite heavily in movies / vfx as the turnaround rate of ppl is quite fast, recruiters messaging mostly, am never opening it ever unless i get a message for work cuz its like a gathering place for insufferable ppl who post bullshit all day

@sean_ae My experience: I've been approached by HR departments a few times with legit offers. The platform is also useful to monitor opening positions and getting job alerts in your field. Apart from that, drama and weirdness exists but choosing who to follow (seasoned professionals in my case) can be pretty curated and sane. I've read interesting articles and opinion pieces as well, mostly from industry leaders.

Could I live without it? Sure.

@sean_ae shit like "I went to a job interview today. In front of the building, there was a dog begging for food. I turned around and walked 4 kms for some food, and was 30 mins late to the interview. Turns out, the dog was the CEO of the company. Moral of the story: always be kind." and they type like they put a . after every 2 words honestly mad people

@sean_ae It's an echo chamber owned by Microsoft that business people use to feed the data collector sorcerers.
