Doesn't the AMA serve the medical industry? They don't have to make profits themselves. If a byzantine coding process raises medical treatment costs, they'll do it. Just like how they intentionally cap med school admissions to keep doctors in demand and inflate their salaries.

+1. To all of the marketing site developers out there: never mess with scrolling defaults.

I don't know if this is useful for you, but getting my MTHFR and COMT genes sequenced has been incredibly helpful for managing my own mental health. Since getting these results, I've been able to understand my own neurology better.

I'm sorry to hear about your issues with sleep - and can relate to them. In particular, my slow COMT means that my baseline cortisol is higher than most. Taking phosphatidyl serine before bed helps me a lot, and lets me sleep through the night.

Best of luck.

Read this; helped me get to staff. Some takeaways:

- If your management chain isn't supporting you into a staff promo, it's because they don't value the work you're currently doing.

- A staff engineer isn't a highly-productive senior engineer. Stop optimizing for the things that got you promoted to senior.
