This was the last straw for me. I've just shut down my linkedin in account. My linkedin number was 5454 and I joined on May 23rd 2003. Linkedin has provided no value to me at all. It's made me a target for recruiters and charlatans.

Recruiters are scum of the earth and shall be on the B ark along with the telephone sanitizers and middle management.

> Javascript engineer

Excuse me for seeing a contradiction in this poor mix of words.

Anyone using Javascript is pressing (atrociously designed) ready-to-use buttons, promoted by BigCos whose business is about making others so unable to operate that they have no choice but to 'delegate' their customers' data, business and future in *their* Cloud.

Any serious 'engineer' will vomit if you mention Javascript, Java, or C#.

Why the hell a startup would elect to use broken design, crippled by a constant stream of bugs and security breaches while all these 'innovative' languages (and all compilers and Operating Systems) are still written in plain old C?

C is the most widely ported and used language by an industry trying to convince users that they should *not* use C.

Any bell ringing?

This story is reflecting how bad the situation is - and how wrong those who think they can emit a diagnosis can be.
