I don't work for linkedin and never have. I wrote myself a greasemonkey script with a similar purpose a while ago & learned about this while trying to research if I would be violating linkedin's ToS by sharing it. Anecdotally, the amount of recruiter spam I had in my inbox went from one or two per day to almost none while I was using said script.

linkedin cares a lot about preventing people from changing how people view their website, and they have very effective DOM detection code which watches for manipulation like this. So if you use this extension it's very likely that your account will be shadowbanned, meaning you won't show up in searches (e.g. if you are a job seeker you'll stop getting cold outreach from recruiters), your posts will be less visible or invisible if you have any, and whatever other arbitrary restrictions linkedin's algorithm puts on your account which might even include stifling normal communication from your connections. And if you don't care about any of those things you might be better off without linkedin in the first place.

> Nearly all complex technical projects are owned by one super smart person (Ex: linux).

strange example, considering that the super-smart owner is purely a delegator at this point, and there are thousands of contributors.

What am I missing? What about this law (the real one that actually exists, not your hypothetical) is challenging to be in compliance with?

Coming from a background as a professional music performer and educator (now a software engineer), seeing highly-upvoted comments like this one that are so confident and yet so completely wrong is a great reminder that you should always take what you read in an internet comment section with a grain of salt, no matter how many people are nodding virtually in agreement.

Of course, there's nothing wrong with anybody learning to play piano entirely by ear and never picking up a music score. If that brings you enjoyment, that's truly fantastic, and I mean that sincerely. But for the vast majority of pianists, being unable to read sheet music will cut you off from many genres of music entirely, make in-person instruction mostly impossible, render all written pedagogical resources inaccessible to you, and enormously limit your ability to play in ensembles. Even jazz pianists who improvise and play by ear for all of their meaningful playing can read music; in fact you'd probably find that most of the really good ones are incredible sight-readers.

> These things are about a different as learning to program and learning to type in a program from a magazine.

I think a better analogy is probably something like "these things are about as different as being able to understand a spoken language, and being able to speak and write it".

Shipping source maps allows for better error-reporting instrumentation, and can also be a great help if you need to debug an issue you're not able to reproduce in a local or staging environment.
