I've spent most of my time as a back end developer, occasionally dabbling in some front end code in various MVC frameworks. I always hated it and found it to be tedious.

I recently took up react+redux for a new project and for the first time feel like I'm developing for the UI in a way that makes sense and feel like I'm able to accomplish things way faster than with other clunky frameworks.

This entire notion of a professional social network I believe is flawed in that it is built upon the notion that it would be better to hire someone who has a smaller degree of separation from you, which makes no sense. I do a fair amount of interviewing of programmers, and not a single person I work with could give a damn about anyone's linkedin profile; it's meaningless. I just find the whole idea to be very shallow, vein, and obtrusive.

It took half a dozen or so emails to every possible email address I could find on linkedin's site, but I managed to finally have my personal email address added to some global do-not-contact list. I have since stopped receiving any invitations from friends to join. It's really disgusting that they have such functionality, but do not allow people to be added to such a list on their own.
