I don't think that's a bait and switch. It's totally possible that the position got filled, and they are still interested in hiring you.

I can see how that would be frustrating on your end, but I wouldn't immediately attribute it to malice.

I've ironically only read about half of Finish

> Personally, I'm seeing moving into management as more attractive everytime I see an article posted here about remote work.

Any chance you can expand on this?

I'm not a doctor, but I'd caution against trying psychedelics at all if you had crippling anxiety before.

I didn't realize just how bad my anxiety could get until after I did Psilocybin. It wasn't the root cause of my anxiety, of course, but it sure as hell exacerbated it to the point of being pretty debilitating.

I'm now on 25mg of Sertraline, which has all but wiped out my anxiety.

I'm sure how I'd get away with this. Either my tickets are getting done or they're not.

I've been switching jobs every 2-3 years (not deliberately, the offers were just too good to turn down) and the offers keep getting more lucrative for pretty much the same level of work/responsibility.

I think I'm a pretty good engineer, but I'm nothing special. I attribute this more to a great market for my skill set than anything.

This is not with FAANG btw, these are relativity small Series A/B companies. If anything, my sentiment is the opposite of yours.

I don't either but ruby isn't just active, it's larger than it's ever been.

I see this a lot: a clearly talented person who is unable to monetize their project.

At a glance, it looks like OP is just building stuff, throwing it at a wall and seeing what sticks. Of course, that is bound to fail. You are, essentially, playing the lottery.

Nowhere in that blog did I see any mention of figuring out what a customer is looking for in a game or a product.

What is the niche you are trying to fill or pain-point you are trying to solve? It would be much better to build something _after_ you know people want it, not before.

Same, I have a full-time job and have a small side business, and my accountant does it all for $150. It's incredible and she saves me a lot of money.

I'm not conflating the two, I didn't say anything about his stance on the mandates.

> That being against mandating these emergency experimental COVID-19 vaccines

They are not "experimental" by the way, THAT is propaganda/misinformation.

His anti-vaccination stance (specific to coronavirus, I don't know if he's anti-vax in general).

He pushes ivermectin as a valid alternative to the vaccines when the data does not currently back that up.

> The most Joe Rogan has done regarding "misinformation" is telling people they should not get the vaccine

I'm baffled by this comment and how that alone isn't concerning to you. All the experts say the vaccine is safe and effective, and yet we have people listening to Joe Rogan on the topic.

Joe Rogan also claimed to have taken ivermectin and experimental antibodies and yet seems to claim that ivermectin is what did the trick. I don't know what his motivations are but he's clearly confused/misinformed.

edit: to clarify, I'm not defending CNN in this instance at all. Both cases of information are terrible.

You don't think it's dangerous for someone with a platform like Rogan has to spread misinformation?

That's what I'm referring to.

I've had bosses/managers that would lose their cool and yell, and they were by far the worst leaders I've ever worked for.

When an adult can't keep their cool in a professional environment, it's very telling.

I'm not downvoting you, just pointing out that transmission isn't the only reason to be vaccinated in a hospital setting.

Hospital systems are already overwhelmed, so having vaccinated staff reduces the amount of staff that have to miss shifts because they are dealing with covid symptoms.

Vaccines reduce symptoms, death and hospitalizations from covid complications. It's amazing to me that we have hospital staff that would rather listen to the Joe Rogans of the world than to the science they supposedly learned about in college.

It's sad that Joe Rogan comes up as any kind of authority on anything besides mixed martial arts.

> To kick off the flamewar: is discussing any treatment but vaccines still == "spreading anti-vax misinformation"?

Why?

My take is that both Musk and Bezos are megalomaniacs. However, Musk at least _appears_ to genuinely care about space travel and it's implications for the future of humanity.

For Bezos, it's just a dick measuring contest (and apparently influences his phallic rocket ship designs).

I tried, I really did, but it legitimately turned into a literal painful experience for me.

> It's like everyone's zipping around in electric cars, and some people still swear by those gear/radio sticks.

Anecdotally, the vim users are the ones "zipping" around their code. I can't remember a single time thinking it was painful watching a vim user when pair-programming. In contrast, it's often quite painful watching someone slowly point and click around their IDE.

I used to be pretty bad about this, and I honestly didn't realize I was doing it until someone pointed it out.

I hate when people do it to me, so no idea why I was doing it right back.

Didn’t the Senate Intelligence Committee release a bipartisan report that concluded Russia did indeed attempt interfere with our election?

How was it a bogus story?

> My dad's manager gave him a bad performance review and said that he let his son's death affect his work

Wow... what kind of person would you be if this didn't affect your performance?

> touch controls for turn signals

Wait… really?

This looks like something I might use on my own but if it was forced on me at work I'd find another job...

> it's highly unlikely that there's another carbon copy of our planet.

Given the sheer size of the universe, I'd guess the opposite. Unless you literally mean and exact copy.

> No, they take what they hear as fact if they believe the source is trustworthy. So how do we determine which sources are trustworthy? Who decides that? And how are they held accountable when they're wrong?

I agree, this is exactly my hesitation I pointed out in my original post.

Because it causes real harm, same as yelling bomb on an airplane or fire in a crowded building.

Misinformation can cause people to not get vaccinated or storm the capital building...

As much as we'd like to think people are "deciding" anything, it's simply not the case. They just take what they hear as fact because they believe the source is trustworthy.

Fantastic read, I highly recommend it if you are trying to talk to customers.

I'm not absolving YouTube (or any other media platform) of blame, but I really don't see a good solution here.

We've already seen how devastating misinformation can be; however, I still tend to err on the side of freedom of speech.

I don't want widespread misinformation, but who gets to decide what that is?
