Ive got enough on my plate between work, family, daily chores, trying to exercise, get enough sleep, and have a semblance of a social life. When I finish all of these things contributing to an open source project for an hour or two is like the least appealing thing to me

A lack of time. I would certainly contribute to one if I had all the time in the world.

The lack of accountability for bugs in the system. Some doozies have been found in widely used and trusted open source libraries, including sklearn which is part of the vast majority ML projects. Whenever I contribute to open source, I am terrified that one small mistake could get incorporated into a huge number of projects and companies.

Hey there,

I got an offer but there was a discrepancy in graduation month, I noted May but it was actually December. Was asked to provide explanation so now I am waiting to hear back.

How serious is this type of discrepancy?

They also are unsuccessful in reaching my previous employer. Company was bought by one of the giants after I was gone so not sure how successful they will be in getting a hold of my record. That seems to be the last item in my background check.

Offered a promotion where I countered for a higher rate and remote work. The firm reported that my counter offer was going to take weeks to discuss, but I wasn’t “asking for an arm”.
