I left LinkedIn in late 2023 after a 5-year-stint—because I increasingly differed with the company’s cultural and technical direction.

I remain very glad to have gone to LinkedIn. I developed some great relationships there—made friends we have had fly across the country to spend time in our home!—and did really good work. I grew and learned a great deal through working at significant scale both technically and organizationally. But now it’s time for [something new](/journal/next/role/).

**Bonus:** a few months after publishing this, I recorded [an interview with Adam Gordon Bell on CoRecursive][cr] about my time at LinkedIn, including *leaving* LinkedIn. If you want a little more detail on what I wrote above, [check it out][cr]—it has a full transcript as well as the audio recording.

[^1]: My most common description of that roadmap has been: *building mediocre developer experiences with mediocre technologies to deliver mediocre user experiences in the name of product velocity*—and, worse, doing so as a technical bandaid over other, far more fundamental, cultural and organizational issues. The details are not public, and people could reverse course, so I will not belabor the point here. But my judgment stands unless or until they *do* reverse course.
