r0rbit··on Ask HN: What is your best advice for a junior software developer?
I like your way of thinking. A former team lead of mine used to say "Don't let perfect be the enemy of good". As a perfectionist, after a few hard lessons I couldn't agree more.
r0rbit··on Ask HN: What are some of the best documentaries you've seen?
Haven't seen a mention of Louis Theroux yet, but he is easily my most favorite documentary maker. His style of straight forward questioning of difficult or taboo topics creates a very authentic impression of people. Definitely check him out. The one about pedophilia in particular was very gripping.

Not all that interested in publishing in academic journals persé.

My academic background is in information studies but I'm not married to the field.

Why did you decide to exit academia?

I like the idea of a research group. I did not know that the field of medicine this was a standard practice. Was it not too overwhelming?
