Hey everyone. Happy to answer any questions about this. Basically, we think that LinkedIn profiles don't do a good job of showing engineering skill (especially for self-taught people or people from non-traditional backgrounds). I'm excited to just build better support for showing side projects and GitHub contributions. LinkedIn profiles have become the default engineering resume (despite the fact that most engineers are not particularly happy with their LinkedIn profile). But there's lock-in. I hope that we have enough scale to be able to chip away at this.

So that's your bar, a growth-hacking dumpster fire?

No they haven't. You know what the default engineering resume is? The one you have on your hard drive that you share at your discretion.

I'm quite surprised at how oblivious you seem to be of the issue of user trust.
