Hi @nandinishinduja! :) Thanks for writing this post! :) I've be wanting to find ways to contribute to Linkedin articles, and you've just given me some ideas! :) I think as far as posting regularly, I highly recommend picking two articles on a SWE-related topic that intrigues you and just comment on them.

I asked what the badge does? you have all (likely the same person) taken my comment completely the wrong way, because I want to know what it does, nothing more… does it boost your rankings? Help you with interviews? Genuinely interested!

I did no mocking but as I said, my disability affects my ability to communicate, I am sorry if you have seen some offence but I assure you there is non intended
