A minor LinkedIn bug
Case-sensitive or case-insensitive are LinkedIn skills? The question seems odd. However, yesterday I faced constant red flag of a user-added skill. A colleague of mine marked my skill, let’s call it hereafter ‘myskill’. I glanced at the red flag and expected it to disappear. The flag disappears, unless I open another browser page with LinkedIn, or browser, or device.
The red flag remained red for several hours.
I started thinking that there is something wrong (not that I think too slowly. Maybe slowly, okay. I created a blog post based, as usual, on a real app, and found a couple of bugs in my framework. And after all this the flag was still red). I found ‘myskill’ in my skills. There were no counter, strangely. I tried to delete and re-create it.
After several experiments, I finally got that I have ‘MySkill’ that is not marked, ‘myskill’ that is marked by colleague and the flag.
After deleting ‘MySkill’, the red flag has gone, eventually.
