Given the value that various blogs and other online discussion has provided to the EA community I’m a bit surprised by the relative absence of ‘advancing the state of community knowledge by writing etc’ in 80k’s advice. In fact, I’ve found that the advice to build lots of career capital and fill every gap with an internship has discouraged me from such activities in the past.
Great talk!
