I'm not surprised by people here offering 'life ends at 30' advice here. No wonder there is so much rampant ageism in this industry.

Overall you have a great security posture. I would not recommend using LastPass due to the service having a history of really bad security vulnerabilities. If you must use a cloud-based password manager, 1Password is the most secure choice,

You can simply ignore the political posts on HN. If criticism directed at Trump and "social justice propaganda" is bothering you so much, perhaps you need to reconsider your life.

Inform management I am stretched thin and request additional team members. There's no secret to being able to do much more in the finite amount of work hours. If management sees that you are adapting to the extra load, they will have n

I have zero faith that a homogeneous group of people (ie. white guys in SV) with the same beliefs and experiences can make AI safe. This is one area that must have a diverse group of people working on it.

If they talk about how great it was to do their laundry during work hours, thumbs down. Talking about the work/life balance benefits of remote work is a bad thing? This makes even less sense since remote work is usually coupled with

You don't want to work anywhere where certifications are valued that much to the point that simply having a cert gets you hired. It's an extremely bad reflection of the management and technical staff there.
