Most importantly, a new vocalist Emily Armstrong. What do you think of their new songs?!!
I like the newness in terms of just voice (the experience), and feeling it a lot more personal while hearing all these usually distant and far-fetched people!
About the money-making aspect, it seems like a later stage thing atm. But yes, I get where you're coming from.
Substack apparently has (or had?) a good reputation, but I read people switching to other platforms, and started doubting it.
Gotta look up hackernoon. Thanks :)

These are legitimate concerns.
For the latter, if something pairs more with your interests, it is far more likely to make you feel more content personally and professionally. Especially if you enjoy hands on working over being in a leadership/ managerial position, it looks like a good opportunity to switch.
Saving commute time and energy isn't a bad trade-off, too.
About the worry about making a feeling-based decision - there's a quote that says "All decisions are emotional."

Well said!
This is exactly where organized open source and commercial open source (COSS) products come into play.
They're supported by an active community, funded by the users (and investors at times), and companies don't run out of resources to maintain and scale what's helping the primary user-base.
Life is certainly way more complicated than a few tests. And there's so many great things to do and achieve!
Thank you so much for writing this. A much-needed reminder.
But it's such a great way to get into reading, and feed your child-like curiosity with the best resources.
