This such a great, generous and humble take on producing a huge, nationally beneficial product.

I was just reading about Andreesen's bizarro screed. I wish more people were reading this than that. This gives me hope for the future.

Surely proof is in the pudding is PUD and not FUD. (British joke)

There is a broad confusion between being provocative and being intelligent. (This, I recognize, is a strong opinion.)

I think an ATS will miss more good candidates.

For example, I was messing around with one today with my own resumé. It couldn't tell from responsibilities and results that I had done a job much more senior to the job title (long and probably common story). It wanted exact matching in job title to the job description, so "department lead" and "head of department" or neither, with the same responsibilities, were not interchangeable.

A human could pick that out from the context. So I think an ATS is going to be using the filters humans used to, plus failing to gather relevant info from context.

How could you shaman shame?

YES! This was one of the things I came across. Thank you!

Aren't there places away from the conventional protocols where people still blog and the world is innocent?

I'm serious. I came across some of these communities nearly a year ago while reading about solar powered servers. And after I forgot how I found them, I've thought of them about once a month and wondered what the hell is wrong with me for forgetting.

They were incredibly neat and niche spaces, full of very idiosyncratic websites and things that had no commercial point. It was fantastic.

How we interpret the past says more about us than anyone is willing to admit.

But poverty is who people are, not what happens to them. /s

I'd focus on looking at things that are blocking flow states. If you can enter a flow state, you may find you're working faster on average.

- Consider starting your day by hand-writing a bullet pointed lists of tasks or things that are stressing you, including life stuff. Writing them out helps you feel that you have control over them, and you no longer have them rattling around in the back of your head. Leave the list alone, it's not a to-do list. You'll focus more easily.

- Related: if that kind of works for you. Consider starting your day by writing a page or two in a journal, just about whatever's in your head. Once you empty that out and all the feelings around that stuff, it will be easier to get down to business and enter a flow state.

- Taking breaks is really important and taking frequent breaks when it feels natural works well, at least for me. Take vacation regularly.

- Get plenty of high-quality sleep. This is a big one. Once you start paying attention to it, you notice really quickly what a big impact sleep has on your mood, happiness, and output the following day.

- Use noise-cancelling headphones and playlists made for focus.

And remember to be kind to yourself.

In general, we focus on the things that bother us about ourselves when we compare ourselves to others. We don't pay attention to the positives. So you probably aren't seeing the sides of your work that make you excellent or how you contribute in ways other people can't.
