Finally deleted my LinkedIn account!

After putting my account into "hibernation" for the past few weeks, I finally closed it. But I'm still looking for work. Thankfully I can still find positions (SRE and software dev) by just going directly to the company's site and finding a Jobs page.

Good luck to everyone else out there looking for work!

I got recruits to buy me coffee while I ranted at them about the tech industry.

Hold on... that's awesome. Shit maybe I deleted my account too soon...

I mean, I get physically sick of the idea of the worst mindless parts of the corporate world being spammed around the genuinely amazing project that is the Internet. But paying for coffee sucks, too ;)

Haha. It was only 2–3 times, but when they learned how niche my skillset was/what tech I would actually work with, I think they realized it was a waste of their time (like how actively writing object-oriented code is a waste of time)
