"if you can avoid the bad parts like spam"

An engineer I once worked with used to joke that the best way to fix flash was to uninstall flash.

I wonder if this precedent holds for avoiding LinkedIn spam by just avoiding LinkedIn.

(Spoiler alert: it works marvels, YMMV)

What I've noticed is that the top developers that I know, the real elites, do not have LinkedIn accounts.

Is it weird I like the ego stroking linkedIn provides?

It definitely works. After deleting my LinkedIn account 5 or 6 years ago, my recruiter spam dropped to nearly zero. It was a great decision.
