My comment got a few upvotes, so perhaps there is more interest in this topic than I originally thought. I wrote an ebook "Job Tips For Geeks: The Job Search" a couple years ago that included a few tips on working with recruiters

I fail to see how this is quitting the tech industry. This is quitting Yelp, but the listing of the Patreon account is all "tech industry" work, just without having a boss or company to be accountable to. The post doesn't see

This is advice that many seem to overlook. Leverage the current skills to get exposure to the ones that you want. It is not always easy to find companies that both use your dated skill and the skill you want. Devs at those companies probabl

I too have seen liver failure, where acetaminophen use was mentioned by doctors as a contributing factor. My comment was intended to highlight the fact that the combination of even a relatively small amount (not overdose levels) of acetamin

The tl;dr is that in the US, vaccine manufacturers have no liability for the vaccines they produce and sell. Vaccine injury claims are heard without a jury, and paid out by a special fund which exists due to a per-dose tax on vaccines. Vacc
