I do independent research on EA topics. I write about whatever seems important, tractable, and interesting (to me).
I have a website: https://mdickens.me/ Much of the content on my website gets cross-posted to the EA Forum, but I also write about some non-EA stuff over there.
My favorite things that I’ve written: https://mdickens.me/favorite-posts/
I used to work as a software developer at Affirm.
The argument I find most relevant: If timelines are long, there isn’t much cost to doing work later rather than now. If timelines are short, work has to be done now. So it makes sense to do short-timelines work now and long-timelines work later (if there is a “later”).
