Whenever i hit Linked in, i get this long list of different people spamming certificates of courses they just completed, some machine learning project to detect masked and unmasked face or even machine playing dino on chrome, it really irritates me, is it really that important to advertise your project on Linked in which is not even open source, or advertise how with extreme difficulties you just completed a course, contents of which you are gonna forget next summer?
How much this advertising-yourself thing works?
Secondly, is it really that important to do fancy projects? What if am interested in less fancy stuff, say cli tool development or compiler development, will the society accept me?
P.S.:Asked by a Junior year college student.
