    This article feels like it was written by an old man yelling at clouds. “… Back in my day we smoked mid and we liked it” shakes fist and then uses it as a reason to go back to prohibition. Why can’t we just make it legal and let the free market figure it out.

    Turns out more THC for the buck means people can make a few months supply of edibles out of a few grams. Cost effective!

    With an open field, who would you vote for president?

    Now given the field has two candidates, who do you think will do a better job between the two? I’m actually curious to hear your answers and why.

    Your comment here indicates you think being able to talk over others is an important part of the job. Why do you see that as an important attribute? Does the President of the most powerful country in the world often need to be the loudest person in the room? Do they need to dominate conversations, preventing other people from talking, to do their job effectively?

    I’ve been in charge of hiring a few jobs now and I make sure to not care about any of the typical signals when interviewing. I tell recruiters and candidates alike that I’d “hire three raccoons in a trenchcoat if they could turn requirements into working code”.

    I’ve hired quite a few folks who didn’t fit the typical mold, because they could write some sweet code. Who cares about eye contact, I want honest, hard working problem-solvers.

    The biggest thing my less social folks struggle with (for anyone curious) is requirements gathering. That often takes interviews and repeated interactions with customers. But it’s a skill like any other. Practice brings improvement!
