Do you have any sources to read/learn more about this phenomenon? Would be great to understand why
Where would you find clients for this? Also is there a youtube video that shows you how to extract this information from the API data?
How do you suggest getting out of the echo chamber without leaving my job? I need to continue in my current role because I don't have a big safety net, but I want to get exposure to non-tech industries and find out inefficiencies.
As an aside, how did you zero in on seafood supply chain compliance? Were you in that industry previously?
How did your friends go about finding non-programmer markets? I can't leave my current role in tech because I don't have a big safety net, but I want to understand other markets and figure out inefficiencies. I've seen this advice about exploring non-tech industries pop up a lot and am interested in following through.
Companies have diversity goals? I thought that the diversity related info wasn't used in hiring, as is stated in all the job application forms
How do you even start doing this? I have poor self control and usually start projects/tasks right as the deadline approaches. I wish I was that productive all the time...
For someone employed in tech, does anyone have recommendations for how to improve sales skills? Assuming I can't leave my current job.
This is great insight. Do you have any recs for someone with python experience to get started with learning systems programming?

I've been told that it's a good idea to look for your next job while you're already working somewhere else, and I'm curious how the 'writing posts' strategy would hold up in this situation.
