I agree with you about LinkedIn. I also would have agreed with you about how silly that is, until I started working with giant banks and other huge finance industry people. Many of the devs there legit do use LinkedIn. A number of people actually blog and post updates and stuff on LinkedIn. It was really surprising. Startup culture and big corporate tech, despite using many of the same technologies, are miles apart culturally.

Devs use LinkedIn for blog posts? Are they using it as way to get other devs to read it, or as a way to get potential employers to notice them?
Tbh, I don't a single dev who uses LinkedIn unless they looking for a new role I.e they're certainly not using LinkedIn as a dev-oriented news feed

Yes, surprisingly many of the devs used LinkedIn for blog posts. The type of blog posts that they did were somewhat different as well. It was normal to see posts that had to do with engineering culture and how to structure an engineering department, things like that. They would also often talk about technology from a high level. For example "why I think vert.x is the future of Java high performance programming", or something like that.
