I've been a professional C, Perl, PHP and Python developer.
I'm an ex-sysadmin from the late 20th century.
These days I do more Javascript and CSS and whatnot, and promote UX and accessibility.
I think the existing LinkedIn interface looks kinda nasty, too, but I suspect that's part of what they're going for. Businesses, banks, etc, which want to give the impression that they're Very Serious People like more old-school approaches. I think they think that anything modern-looking implies you're a new company and don't have much clout. What you're trying to do is make it look like a generic 202x social media site.
Now, LinkedIn is a poor experience, and I like your take on it much better, but you have decided to keep some of the less-good parts and even introduced some things which I feel are a step backwards.
In particular, you've gone for a very pale look where the contrast for a some parts of the interface is very low.
I also find things a little confusing. I don't like moving interfaces anyway, but the tabs confuse me because they slide in from the right no matter whether you're going left or right in the tab headings. My brain tells me that it's a slider, but it's not, and that feels off.
That menu in the top that says "discover"? I have no idea how to get that to change to "people" or "companies" or what have you. In fact, I don't know how to do anything except by drilling down into a company and a person then trying to navigate back up, or by using the global search and hoping I get a hit.
Don't take this as negative, I like what you're doing to "our beloved LinkedIn". Wait. Hold up. I don't think I've ever met anyone before who liked using LinkedIn. Is this a first?
Yeah I agree there, lol honestly as humans we don't like something that is too perfect because it'll look SUS so order to make humans come to the same spot you need to make a little bit of like a mistake so it looks normal, humans we are built solve problems mostly so if something is perfect we tend not to like it, {my own opinion}

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
