Maggi, MacBooks, and Metric Tons of Water That Prove Your Existence

Yo, welcome to the first issue of PeakedIn, a weekly newsletter where we feature some of the most incredible posts we stumbled across on our LinkedIn feed.

Why though?

One may ask, and the answer is simple. If someone has the sheer courage to post these things on a professional networking site, then we can absolutely build a Hall of Fame for them. That way, they can eventually drop another post announcing, "I am thrilled to announce that my recent post got featured in PeakedIn!"

We genuinely salute all of this week's featured users and are deeply grateful to them for providing us with this goldmine of content.

Let’s dive into this week’s nominations for the Ultimate LinkedIn Hall of Fame.

The Tragic Romance of Maggi and MacBook

It is with great displeasure that we inform you that we still cannot accurately predict a Maggi spill on a MacBook, despite the tireless research of this week's first author. Frankly, for the newer models from Anthropic, this should be the definitive new benchmark. Forget coding, can the AI predict a noodle disaster? That is what will truly help humanity in the long run. What do you mean the image was AI-generated? Shush. We don't talk about that here.

The Resume That Was Not

Resume that was not

Our next author discovered an email response from an HR department, only to realize that a birth certificate apparently does not count as a resume. Personally, I would argue that proving you actually exist is a phenomenal start to any application. I mean, you can have 10 plus years of experience in an outdated stack, but are you even alive? How can an interviewer know that without your official state-issued birth certificate? It feels like this company missed out on a candidate who clearly believes in raw, unfiltered transparency.

The Ultimate Productivity Hack

Every platform is just a recycling bin for reposts these days. Instagram posts end up on Reddit, Reddit posts move to X, X posts land on LinkedIn, and LinkedIn posts end up on PeakedIn. It is the circle of life.

Anyhow, the solution proposed by our third author is elegant. Got into a heated debate with a coworker? No worries. Just drink a gallon of water and spend the next 45 minutes commuting back and forth to the restroom. Stay hydrated, stay unaccountable.

The "Production-Ready" Marriage

Huge congratulations on the wedding, author-kun! We must pause and admire the absolute mental gymnastics required to map out a wedding timeline using an AWS infrastructure architecture diagram. Continuing with your technical analogies, we sincerely hope your life partnership remains completely bug-free and scales horizontally without breaking the budget.

The Mad Men and Friends

Look, we couldn't finish Issue 1 without acknowledging the absolute meta-irony of launching a newsletter about LinkedIn, on LinkedIn.

A group of friends noticed that LinkedIn's most unhinged moments deserved a permanent home. So, after a healthy amount of procrastination, we finally built PeakedIn. Our goal is to spread laughter rather than controversy, though if things go south, well, this too shall pass. Will launching this newsletter scale our personal brands? Will it optimize our cross-functional delivery? Probably not. But it will give us all a safe space to laugh at the corporate grindset together.

Welcome to the hall.
