I want to improve parts of online professional networking, specifically to be more about self-mentoring/shared learning, as opposed to sales connections.
This is ever more important with the onset of remote hiring, remote work, and the isolation/depersonalization it brings to newcomers to the industry.
There's also an "evil" momentum in remote hiring -- some companies _need_ asynchronous interviews to support their scaling and operations, and the general perception is that it's impersonal and dehumanizing.

On the bright side, it's bound to stabilize, and I'm learning a lot about how RN works internally.
