Just listened to it again. Highly recommend. The short of it is more searches == more ads == more $. There’s a conflict between a great search experience (landing not on google) versus the time you spend ON Google.

Great story and just terrible outcome.

Bring that to your department chair and ask if they can help sponsor the trip. It’s a big deal and something the department would be proud of.

Glad you got diagnosed. There’s a ton of bad management in startups. Especially stay away from managers that grew up in toxic shops.

I’ve always been a strong employee. People get good at pushing buttons. Spent more time in a divorce therapy talking about a manager than the personal issues.

Realized for every boundary problem I had, there were n alienated people on my team that really got hurt hard. Sr. Management fixed the issue

Be good at taking breaks. Be good at looking for new roles before you need them.

Spend your time making sure you are protected against ransomware with good offline backups and able to recover your practice. Keep your payments separate from your comms machine.

N letters back and forth then a bill stage where you realize something wasn’t paid for. Then an hour long phone call to start an appeal process asking for more documentation about a test ordered 5 months ago. The denials are handwaves.

Insurance in general is such a nightmare. I’m in the fortunate bucket where I’m well paid and have a decent plan. One kid with chronic conditions. Then the pain of every year being forced to figure out the different game.

Since you built one, you can probably answer the ergonomics question I’ve always had. It’s been years since I did fighting games.
