LinkedIn is a bit of a hellscape right now.
Posts are either AI super-hypers declaring all technical people pointless, "I'm part of the recent 10,000 person layoff at $COMPANY" or "I'm starting a gofundme because I've been jobless for two years now".
In the end though, I suspect whatever is next is going to come down to the network of friends and colleagues I've built over 30 years mentioning something random in passing.
The 🎢 is real but I still feel largely optimistic :)
