Word on the street is that big things are happening with the non-profit organization Open Sourcing Mental Health. I’m a supporter of their work and efforts to change how we talk about mental health in the tech community.

Join their mailing list now so you can find out the big news when it happens.

I have started to ask in job interviews, "how did you handle a situation where an employee was experiencing a mental health crisis, and you were able to help them get better _and retained the employee_?"

A lot of them have no experience, no plans, and no idea where to get help.

I started therapy. Would love to talk about it with others, hear experiences.

"Humans Will Align with the AIs Long Before the AIs Align with Humans"

Like all organisms, humans adapt to their environment's definition of success. The environment's response to behaviors is detected, and the mind rewards or punishes the behavior.

Organisms repeat successful patterns until they are no longer successful.

Hey folks. I am still looking for new opportunities. My current role ends March 31.

resume.funkatron.com

If you can look at my resume & share it with someone you think might be interested. I sure would appreciate it.

I am happy to talk about lots of 100% remote possibilities, not just dev roles.
