We'd probably share Occam's razor. There doesn't seem anything specifically human about any of these ideas.

Except the fact that humans are the only species that we know so far to have thought about them?

That's just someone's youtube channel doing a redirect to a video

lol this thread is cancer.

a bunch of wiki-google-doctors that think they know more than the people who actually studied for at least a decade; get away while you can.

These drugs are very powerful but have really bad side-effects for most people that take them.

This is bullshit. Antidepressants have mild side-effects for most people who take them. Some people have bad side effects and then they try a different one with a different side-effects profile and that usually helps. The only thing I have on Zoloft are annoying night sweats. Without it I was unable to function and had chronic anxiety and panic attacks.

Is my utter terror of these drugs warranted or should I just bite the bullet and try them?

You said it yourself. You tried therapy, you tried all sorts of coping mechanisms and nothing helped. So yes, find a psychiatrist and talk to him about taking drugs.

There's absolutely nothing wrong about drugs. Some people need blood pressure medication their whole life; the brain is just another part of you that responds to medication.

It is a fact that the mechanism of almost all of these drugs are not completely understood, but fully understanding the mechanism of a drug is not a requirement for it to be therapeutic. Sometimes you just find that stuff works and then you spend a whole lot of time trying to understand why it does.

Do all that without writing decent code and you still have nothing to show.

Lack of communication skills is a bug not a feature.

A bug I'm willing to take in exchange of producing high quality code. Besides, we live in 2022 now, we can type. I just said I suck at talking not at communicating. There are multiples forms of communication which don't involve opening your mouth.

I think it's time we accept that the person we are talking to is who they say they are on their resume.

Yea because we live in a place where everyone is super honest and no one is going to try and take advantage of that to make 500k a year.

IMO, it doesn't work. Talk is cheap.

I wouldn't have a job if I had to talk my way into any company, I'm an introvert, I suck at communicating orally. But I can solve problems and write really good code. You throw problems at me during an interview and I'll solve them. Ultimately your company's code is not going to write itself.

I call that the @tiangolo/FastAPI pattern of open source software.

After individuals noticed that it's possible to make tons of money through donations/sponsors on Github and providing support for their OSS many just rebrand libraries by sugar coating abstractions on top of it (what FastAPI did to Starlette) and trying to own all parts of the development (by not giving access to anyone on the project for example) so that they own they're seen as the only person able to provide true support for it.

See https://github.com/tiangolo/fastapi/issues/4263 and https://github.com/tiangolo

This. I don't know why people think that Twitter and other social platforms are public forum. People blocked by Twitter don't lose their freedom of speech. Besides, what most of the people crying about this want is not freedom of speech, it's freedom of repercussions.
