Pretty sure this was written by ChatGPT, haha!

I thought you were kidding, it definitely has the tone of GPT.

I see it. Great observation!

> Now, why is building a strong professional network important for introverts? In today's competitive job market, it's not enough to just have a strong resume and skillset. Having a network of connections and relationships can open up new opportunities, provide valuable resources and advice, and help you navigate your career path. It can also help you build your personal brand and reputation within your industry.

Sounds like a bunch of BS extroverted people are more likely to say and believe in. This makes me not want to have a strong professional network.

Which part do you not believe? Humans evolved as social creatures and the saying "it's not what you know but who you know" is as old as time.

I don’t believe somebody who asked for a couple coffee chats with me is more deserving of a job referral / recommendation and eventually the job itself than somebody who just applied on the company website.

I understand that but there's a difference between what ought to be and what is

Believe that all you want, but it's not how the world works.

One thing that's very true today is that you can build an INCREDIBLE professional network without any in-person interaction. If you're too introverted to do in-person networking, the right combination of committing to projects, being active on Twitter, emailing people with ideas, etc. can make you a very well connected person.

I deeply suspect any kind of human classification system that puts people in two distinct and opposite groups.

Was expecting: "How to invest in, cultivate, & nurture meaningful relationships over your adult life."

What I got: "How to make new friends at networking events."

Those two things are not entirely unrelated.

Thus begins the arms race

Ah, very cool. I was wondering if something like this existed!

It probably makes sense that HN is where I read an article without knowing it was authored by a bot, but come on, man.

I’m fairly certain this breed of technology, despite being very impressive and in some cases truly wonderful, will do more damage to our society than good.

Shame on you, Sam.

To other humans: This is a low-quality article, probably written by an AI or content farm, and not worth spending any time on.
