I’ve been lurking LW and SCC on and off since about 2013, when I stumbled upon the sequences. I got sucked back in and became a daily visitor since the pandemic began. I also started listening to the Bayesian Conspiracy podcast and finally read HPMOR and realized that this (LW) is the crowd of people I’d love to hang out with.
I’m in early 30′s and currently doing SRE work remotely. I like to think that wrangling software has infected me with an appreciation for systems thinking (or vice versa?) and the LW topics that grab my attention the most are those that talk about coordination like the one about the Swiss system or this one about negotiation and Schelling points. Kaj Sotala’s and others’ posts about the mind have been very influential for me as well. I’ll venture out into other topics like AI safety as well, but less often.

Looking forward to exploring things together!
