+title: On LinkedIn Connections
+date: 5 may 2026
+---
+
+A little while ago I sent a connnection request to Mr. Simon Peyton Jones. In
+case you don't know who he is, he's <a
+href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_Peyton_Jones"> one of the major
+contributors to the creation of Haskell</a>.
+
+He replied asking me what the connection was about, which surprised me since it
+was the first time someone asked that. I said that I only wanted to follow him
+because I'm a long time Haskell fan. He then told me that that's ok, but that a
+note with the connection to make it more personal would have been better. And I
+agree.
+
+I often rant about how dehumanized human connection in social media is. Trolls
+everywhere saying shit they would not dare utter in person. It's as if when
+online, people really think they're the main character in an RPG and everyone
+else is an NPC.
+
+And yet, for a long time I've spammed connections on LinkedIn, precisely
+thinking I am a main character in an RPG, and connections items to be collected.
+But not anymore.
+
+My goal is henceforth to build a genuine network of people sharing cool stuff
+and caring at a personal level. People that actually interact with each other.
+
+So, if you want to connect, I'll be more than happy to. Just make sure you send
+your personal note on the request ;).
