David Bishop had recommended me to create a LinkedIn account to try to
find a job which actually pays money. This is why I created an account
on LinkedIn. Mister Bishop means well, but LinkedIn fails at the only
task which I created this account for.

A person who used to contribute more than 700 articles to
comp.lang.vhdl who promotes VHDL a lot on LinkedIn likes a recent
LinkedIn comment by me that comp.lang.vhdl is for works, but the
newest comp.lang.vhdl article by him that I detect is dated 2021.

Alas persons use LinkedIn instead of the USENET. LinkedIn is not good
at threads. LinkedIn is not good at archiving reliably.

LinkedIn is not good for detailed discussions.

I do not find it to be a complete waste of time though, as
non-engineers who are important to me find it convenient to use.

A purported electronic engineer follows me on LinkedIn since the Year
2020 but I did not log onto LinkedIn even once in that year. I do not
know why he follows me. All the HDL users and all the purported
electronic engineers who connect with me on LinkedIn after he started
following me are persons whom I never detect contributing to the
USENET. Many of the persons with whom I am never connected with on
LinkedIn who follow me on LinkedIn work only in professions which are
completely unrelated to mine. Maybe some day I will become a client of
some of these persons, but I have found using LinkedIn to be useless
for getting a job and not useless for communications with unsimilar
persons who insist on using that limited medium.

If I would be hiring then I would want to see that a candidate
contributes to the USENET.
