Got injured (brain). Airbnb and Uber eats is how I kept my family from being homeless until I recovered enough to program again.

Huge advantage being able to go at my own pace when I didn’t know how functional I would be on any given day

Not saying it’s a good company, but saved my family.

Make sure you’re taking creatine daily, some very promising data around brain injuries and I think it won’t do any harm. Hope you feel better soon.

See my sibling comment about the promising research and thanks a lot for the snarky, uninformed response.

You're welcome! It is generally wildly unwise and rude to give medical advice based on three words in a comment, so I shan't be apologizing.

Maybe you are right, but there are ways to communicate your feedback to people without being unwise and rude yourself.

While I'm glad it worked out for you, it's also kinda dystopian to read how you had to work to keep your family under a roof in a time you probably should focus on healing. You shouldn't have had to do that at all, and in that sense I think some of these gig companies also prey on the needy.

Disability straight up laughed at me. I should have gotten a lawyer, but I couldn’t think straight or effectively communicate for a couple of years.
