I've tried so many times to "get into" LinkedIn. I'm really passionate about what I do, so having a platform to talk about it and discuss it is so provocative. But it really is not an environment where I feel like I can use my own voice. I've found myself slipping into that uncanny valley way of communicating many times. And the networking aspect just feels so transactional and circle-jerky without acknowledging it's a circle-jerk that I can never stick around very long. It becomes too nauseating.

A post I wrote about Posts.cv after speaking with cofounder Andy Chung. Hope you enjoy!
Great write up, OP. I'm going to check it out and hopefully not hasten its descent into chaos!
