I humbly submit my application, having just formally dropped out of a PhD I was doing for 6 years (it was one of those long American ones). I de-facto dropped out/stopped working on it about a year ago. I feel very good about this decision—continuing would have meant wasting another miserable year or so just to get a credential. I’m doing EA writing stuff now which seems like a better use of my time.

Huge congrats, welcome to the team
