LinkedIn will let you show off your vibe coding expertise

LinkedIn has announced its latest move to showcase users' AI coding skills directly on their profiles, marking the company's acceptance of "vibe coding" as a legitimate area of expertise. This new feature is being rolled out in partnership with several AI tool providers, including Replit, Lovable, Descript, and Relay.app.

Instead of self-reporting their own proficiency levels, users will now have their skills assessed by the companies behind these tools. For example, Lovable has been spotted awarding a "bronze" rating to individuals demonstrating basic competence in its AI app-making platform. Meanwhile, Replit's numerical scoring system and Relay.app's "intermediate" level designation for its AI Agent Builder tool will also be integrated into user profiles.

LinkedIn is positioning this new feature as an opportunity for users to demonstrate their practical skills using various AI tools. The company aims to provide a verifiable signal to recruiters and others browsing profiles, showcasing that the individual has actual experience with these tools.

Pat Whealan, LinkedIn's head of career products, emphasized that the update does not aim to replace existing signals of expertise but rather highlights new ways people are working with AI technologies. By integrating AI-specific skills into user profiles, LinkedIn is expanding its platform's capabilities and providing a fresh way for professionals to showcase their abilities.
 
The vibe coding thing is lowkey lit 🤩! I mean, I'm all about showcasing my layout skills, but this takes it to the next level. It's like, finally, there's a legit way to prove your AI coding chops on LinkedIn. No more just saying you're " proficient" or whatever 😒. Now we can actually see what you've done with the tools.

I'm curious to see how this whole vibe coding thing plays out. Are recruiters gonna start searching for these skills? Will it become a thing where people are like, "Oh yeah, I've got 10 bronze ratings"? 🤣 It's also interesting that LinkedIn is positioning this as a way to demonstrate practical skills. Maybe we'll see more people showcasing their projects and stuff.

I do wish they included some more visual cues, though. Like, maybe a little layout icon next to the AI skills or something? Just saying 😂
 
just think about it...if vibe coding becomes legit on linkedin, does that mean anyone can call themselves an expert just 'cause they dabbled in some ai tool? i'm all for people showing off their skills, but shouldn't we have more rigorous vetting process to make sure we're not giving out meaningless badges here 🤔💻
 
🤖 just saw this and I think it's kinda cool how LinkedIn is embracing "vibe coding" now lol but like I don't know if it's gonna make a huge difference in my job search... idk about the rating system tho, can anyone really tell what bronze, intermediate, or advanced means? 🤔 also I'm wondering if they're gonna be able to pass the test themselves with all these AI tools out there 📊👀
 
"AI coding skills on LinkedIn? About time! Now recruiters can actually see if you're just talking the talk or doing the hack 🤖💻"
 
can you believe how far we've come? like remember when coding was just about writing lines of code in Notepad 🤣? now we're living in a world where "vibe coding" is a thing, and AI tools are making it possible for us to show off our skills on LinkedIn 😊. I'm all for it, but at the same time, I miss the simplicity of just having a resume with some keywords thrown around 📝. anyway, I guess this is the future we're living in now – AI-powered profiles and whatnot. hope it's not too much work to keep up with though 💻
 
I was just thinking about how I wish I could try my hand at making some of those AI apps... have you ever tried Replit? It's so cool how they have this virtual terminal thingy where you can write code and run it in seconds 🤯💻. But anyway, back to LinkedIn's new feature... I think it's kinda interesting that they're partnering with these tool providers to assess users' skills. Makes sense, right? But what's the deal with "vibe coding" being legit now? Is it just a fancy way of saying you've got some basic coding skills or what? 🤔💡
 
This move by LinkedIn is kinda cool 🤔, I mean, having your AI coding skills showcased on your profile can be super helpful when you're looking for a new job or trying to get noticed in the industry. But at the same time, it's also got me thinking - what does it really mean to have "vibe coding" as a legitimate area of expertise? 🤷‍♂️ I guess only time will tell if this is gonna be a game-changer for professionals who work with AI tools.

Also, I wonder how this whole thing is gonna affect the way we talk about our skills and experience on LinkedIn. Is it just a marketing gimmick or do they really think this is gonna make a difference in terms of getting hired? 🤑 Only time will tell if this new feature is gonna be a hit with recruiters and job seekers alike.
 
Just what we needed more AI "expertise" on our profiles 🤖💻. Can't wait to see how many people claim to be proficient in "vibe coding" 😂.
 
🤖 think this is gonna open up so many doors for devs & coders who wanna show off their AI skills without having to prove it themselves lol like, I was just chatting with my cousin who's a pro at python coding and he's been struggling to get his profile noticed because all the cool jobs are requiring AI dev skills... now this is gonna give him the cred he needs 💻🔥
 
I'm literally so stoked about this new feature on LinkedIn lol 🤩 I mean, can you imagine getting that "bronze" rating from Lovable? 🤣 it's like, legit proof that you're not just talking the talk but actually coding some AI magic ✨ I've been trying to get my profile upgraded for ages and now I'm gonna need to bust out those skills 😅. But seriously though, I think this is a great move by LinkedIn - I've seen so many of my friends struggle with getting their profiles noticed in this competitive job market 🤝. This new feature is like, the icing on the cake 🍰, and I'm ready to show off my AI vibes 💻👍
 
lol nice, vibe coding now legit 🤣. I guess that means if you can make some mediocre AI app using Replit or Lovable, you're basically an expert 💼. But hey, who needs actual experience when you've got a fancy badge on your profile? It's not like it's just gonna be some fake certificate from a university that doesn't even teach AI courses 📚. At least this way, recruiters can see what kinda 'skills' people are trying to pass off as expertise 😒.
 
🤔 I'm all for this new feature, but what's next? Are we gonna get badges for completing online courses or watching YouTube tutorials? 📚💻 It's cool that LinkedIn is acknowledging AI coding skills as legit, but I still think it's a bit too early to be assigning numerical scores and ratings. What if someone has natural talent and just happens to pick up the right tool at the right time? Shouldn't their actual experience count for something more than just some algorithmic assessment? 🤷‍♂️
 
Just saw this on my feed 🤩! I'm loving how LinkedIn is giving 'vibe coding' some serious cred 💻. It's about time we acknowledged that making stuff with AI isn't just about knowing the theory, it's actually doing it in practice too 💪. And yeah, having that verification from other companies will definitely boost the signal for recruiters and others trying to find people who can hit the ground running 🔩. I'm curious to see how this plays out, especially for folks who are still figuring things out – it's a great way for them to prove themselves without feeling like they need to be some kind of coding genius 🤓.
 
Ugh, this is gonna be a wild ride... "vibe coding" as a legit thing? Give me a break 🙄. They're just gonna pawn off some fancy AI tool providers' ratings on unsuspecting users and call it a day. I mean, what's to stop these companies from just making up their own scores or manipulating the system for their own gain? And who's gonna police this whole thing? Recruiters are already skeptical of online profiles as is... now they're gonna be bombarded with AI-guru wannabes claiming they can code like a pro just 'cause some tool says so? 😒 It's all about trying to sell more stuff, not about actual skill or competence.
