Thanks for sharing your considerations! I love the approach. Is there a collection/overview of case studies of Software Developers, who had a lot of impact e.g., by community building, transitioning to AI safety, doing earning to give. I imagine that might be quite helpful for software developers, who are thinking about how to optimize their impact
I only have anecdotal/weak evidence, but I know that some members of the Effective Altruism and Consulting Network felt encouraged to apply for roles at Open Phil after learning that they already hired several consultants

I don’t have such a collection myself.
May I ask how this might be helpful for software developers who are thinking about how to optimize their impact?
I also want to guess that most stories are “they applied to an EA aligned job”, which is something I’m a pretty strong advocate of
