Are there any certifications you view negatively? (programming.dev)

And does it matter if they show up on applicants LinkedIn profiles or just resumes?

(I know some ATS slurp up LinkedIn profile data, but not sure how prominently it's shown.)

I think if there were a bunch of certificates, especially ones I haven't heard of or a lot of low-level ones, I would suspect that you were using test dumps and trying to pad your resume.

I think if you had a cloud certificate and a respectable linux certificate, that would suffice as "enough". Any lab-based certificate is also more valuable than just a paper one.

What are some good Linux certificates to pad my resume with?

You shouldn’t pad your resume with certificates at all.
