My notes on what I liked about the post, from the announcement:
It’s no secret that there are many open jobs working in plant-based foods. Many details about these jobs are available on the public websites of fast-growing companies; 80,000 Hours aggregates many of them on its job board.
But something being “no secret” or “available” does not make it salient. There’s real value in writing Forum posts about ideas or information that’s available elsewhere, but that is still underappreciated and worth noticing. I wouldn’t be surprised if Scott’s post prompted at least a couple of applications to EA-aligned positions that otherwise never would have happened.
(I especially appreciate that the post included positions with a wide range of skill requirements.)
This post was awarded an EA Forum Prize; see the prize announcement for more details.
