MY TEAM is once again hiring for SOFTWARE ENGINEERS

Pros:
- you get to work with ME
- a giant typescript codebase with some pretty cool tooling and problems to solve ✨at scale✨

Cons:
- you will work with ME
- a giant typescript codebase at the bleeding edge of TS scale
Job posting for Software Engineer, Developer Experience San Francisco, California Text reads: About Us: We're on a mission to make it possible for every person, team, and company to tailor their software to solve any problem and take on any challenge. Computers may be our most powerful tools, but most of us can't build or modify the software we use on them every day. At Notion, we want to change this with focus, design, and craft.

Twitter post from Scott Alexander (@slatestarcodex) reads: People had lots of questions about my drowning child tweet yesterday - eg do I believe in infinite moral obligation? Rather than try to answer piecemeal, I'll just give my whole theory of morality and charity here so you can criticize it or let me know if it has unexpected horrible implications. I think it's virtuous to help others, including strangers, foreigners, and whichever animals are conscious. lead image from the classic ClickHole article "Heartbreaking: The Worst Person You Know Just Made A Great Point"
