Re:Ask HN: Am I experiencing burn-out or just getting too old

I'm also a senior dev and have suffered from burnout in the past. Building tangible things and learning the skills necessary to do it has helped.
Something like this: https://github.com/IBM/MicroscoPy
What you're describing sounds like it could be more than burnout though. I would also try to find someone to talk to.

Ask HN: How do you refer to independent vs. team work projects on your resume?
I think knowing something was done independently or on a team is important info from hiring perspective. Do you distinguish between projects that you've worked on independently at work, versus those you've done as a team? Specifically, how do you word this?For example, "Independently designed and developed X feature.", "Jointly migrated X to Y", just "Migrated X to Y" regardless of whether...

This is great, congrats! How did you get your first few customers? How do you plan on monetizing? I realize Peergrade is free, but, as an educator, do you have any advice with respect to selling into K-12 vs higher-ed?

I was in a very similar situation 6 months ago. If you have a typical agreement in place (4 yr vesting schedule w/ an initial 1 yr cliff), about 10% is not only reasonable, it's what you're legally entitled to. If you're legally entitled to 10% and you believe the company is going to increase in value and eventually exit without you, it would be foolish to sell then your stake.

Re:Vitamin D deficiency in pregnancy is linked to autism traits in the...

It'd be interesting to see if there's a seasonal correlation here - since most of our vitamin D comes from the sun, expectant moms are probably more deficient in the winter. Wonder if third trimester during those months, when there's rapid neurogenesis, leads to an even higher incidence of these traits.
