Mediocrity is everywhere—on every platform. Even on blogs. Even in scientific publications. But if you’re creating something worth reading, why hesitate to post it on LinkedIn or anywhere else? Valuable content doesn’t lose its quality just because of where it’s published. Dumb comments don’t change that either.
I actually think creators who produce valuable work should be just as visible as the mediocre ones, so that over time, the difference becomes clear and mediocrity slowly fades. Sure, the marketing and self-promotion side of things might feel uncomfortable, especially for developers. But in a society where the ignorant are bold, if the thoughtful and knowledgeable don’t show the same courage, that society is doomed.
No matter what kind of nonsense you come across, let science and reason be your guide—and keep creating and sharing.
It's not my country. However, it's disheartening to see the citizens of the USA view this move as acceptable. It's a populist move taken without any communication or consultation with locals. This is Trump's way to authoritarianism.
He can negotiate with his allies about tariffs because he thinks it hurts the USA. But he just chose to bully his allies. But he always backs down from tariffs to dictators. He hasn't talked about the crimes in red states. He talks about the blue states 7/24. He has not been behaving responsibly. You are losing your democracy. I hope you can understand this in the future elections, if it's not too late to understand. And please read about 1914-1939 Germany.
