Aquaphor's the best thing I've found so far. Just takes a tiny bit, so whatever's left over on my fingertip gets rubbed into my knuckles which are probably also chapped.

Netflix's _How to Change Your Mind_ (based on a book with same name, I believe) has been a nice digestible look at psychedelics' uses in various therapies, now and in the past, if you're interested in that kinda thing.

(And, off-topic, but the scrollbar on the left here is interesting. Looks like it's a LTR block overflowing a RTL block. I don't think I like it, but, interesting!)

Ah, in that case: Still seems kinda risky? Like, what if someone else submits a solution for the ticket I'm in the middle of? What if my solution is valid, but not accepted? What if it's incorrect, but in some subtle way that won't be discovered until next week?

Production work on an unfamiliar project warrants some discussion. I think in general I wouldn't make any significant contributions to a project before talking with the people running it and making sure we're on the same page.

And apologies for the initial curt reply—asking people who are looking for a job to work for free sets me off a bit. Algora looks like a really nice platform!

Free labor in exchange for the possibility of an interview? I think the fuck not.

ISeeChange | Back-end developer (with some devops) | Fully remote | Full-time contractor | https://www.iseechange.org/

ISeeChange is looking for a back-end developer to own our API (Node.js and PostgreSQL) and devops (AWS and Kubernetes) work. Upcoming features will involve machine learning, GIS, and setting up more robust access to our data for clients.

We're a small but growing company; the dev team is myself on the front end, a data scientist working on machine learning and analysis, and some part-time support from the devs who initially built the platform, so there's a lot of opportunity to help shape the company. Our broad mission is to connect folks with their environments, specifically with regard to climate change.

The full job description and application details can be found here: https://stories.iseechange.org/backend-engineer-at-iseechang...

Disappointing that all the images are built on the same shade of white skin. You're leaving out a whole lot of folks who are already underrepresented in a whole lot of research. I think it'd be helpful to vary the skin tones shown, or stick to a medium-tone (enough to be ambiguous) grayscale.
