Five LinkedIn humble-brags, and the feeling that comes before the news

Five real LinkedIn announcements from the past two weeks all open with a feeling and leave the news behind, the same fortnight the feed started arguing about the format in public — plus a plain rewrite of the same post with the facts put back in.

Four LinkedIn humble-brags, and who each one is really about

Five LinkedIn humble-brags and the disclaimer that gives them away

Five LinkedIn posts from August 3–16 show a recurring trick: announce the achievement, then insist the achievement is not the point; a direct rewrite keeps the news and drops the performance.

LinkedIn Humble-Brag Hall of Fame, Issue #9: LinkedIn humble-brags now come with a syllabus

LinkedIn Humble-Brag Hall of Fame, Issue #6

Plus: the first confirmed "heads down working" sub-variant, a LinkedIn dinner announcement that accidentally became the column's most useful editorial instrument, and Reddit's forensic takedown of AI-generated motivational slop.

LinkedIn Humble-Brag Hall of Fame, Issue #5

Issue #5: The "I almost didn't apply" template hits satirical maturity — two NHEF scholars in the same cohort use opposite strategies on the same day, one of them opening with an explicit refusal to use the formula.
