I'm a software engineer that is fascinated by healthcare. Outside of healthcare, software and hardware, I am interested in running, politics, and music.

Currently I'm a software engineer at Pomelo Care. Before that, I was the Head of Engineering at clinical trial company called Curebase.

Namecheap CEO denies they are responsible, offering $50k to anyone who can prove they are behind it:

This is false, we do not monitor customer searches nor do we register domains that have been searched on our site. I've said this before and I'll say it again here, if anyone cares to prove that this actually exists and someone within our company is registering searched domain names I will give them a 50k reward on the spot.

Are you able appeal a denied claim to kaiser member services? Maybe you can trigger broader policy change / system update by getting them to look a single case (and having a doctor advocate strongly on your behalf)

Even if it doesn't trigger broader policy change, you could get a playbook in place to help others get their review processed faster, e.g. send this form letter, linking to document x and y.

Hey @sz0u Thank you for applying. Unfortunately we have some contracts with large customers that forbid us from accessing data outside US borders, so right now to my knowledge we require all work to be done within the country.

Some of my favorite colleagues at former companies were working outside the US, so I know how much we are missing out with these restrictions. I hope as we grow we’ll be better positioned to negotiate and then be able to have a more inclusive, global team.

I wish you the best of luck with your job search and thank you again for applying

It may be worth doing an exercise:

Imagine your dream role at this company. Is it possible for there to be a role like that at this company? What’s the closest thing? What would it take to move into that position? How would you communicate that to your manager?

Also, this may be a good opportunity to zoom out from work, and address other problems or issues you might have in personal life or even pick up a new or old hobby. Do your job, but remember it’s work, nothing personal, simply “clock in” and “clock out”.

Emotional regulation issues / mood swings are definitely associated with ADHD. I'll echo what another commenter wrote, vyvanse definitely has changed my life for the better. At the moment I'm not taking it due insurance but I plan to get back on it when my insurance changes.

I'd recommend you seek treatment with a professional. CBT can do wonders too.
