I recently received my first full time SWE offer, which was great. Unfortunately, I just found out that I likely have a neurodegenerative eye disease. I’m still really excited about my job, but I’m also nervous. I feel like being able to see is a pretty big advantage when it comes to programming and collaboration in general. I don’t even know if I’ll be able to write code on a whiteboard in the future. Has anyone else experienced something like this? How did you handle it?

I’ve managed to snag a job which is great, but I also have no experience. If I have a start date that’s a few months away, what should I do to prepare in the meantime? Has anyone else been in the same boat of being ok at Leetcode, but dramatically unqualified for the actual job?

I’ve been training since July and just realized I was getting half as much protein as I should have been getting. What effect does that have on training? (Earlier plateaus, reduced muscle size, etc?)

Is anyone else temporarily not be able to see after AMRAP squats? Sometimes my vision goes dark after I put the bar down. The same thing happens when I first wake up and stand up occasionally too so maybe it has to do with being fasted?

I’ve recently started to get into Telos and I’m running into a little bit of difficulty. I’ve never actually fonted the minions so I have no idea what rotation to use for that. Most of the time I can 0-1 font, but occasionally I can’t when pushing. Is it wise to switch to ancients if I don’t know whether or not I’ll be able to 0-1 font? I know I’d lose out on vuln, but it also would help with keeping minions out of md when I’m going to the font. If I’m not on ancients how would I deal with fonting red minions?

I have short dreads that reach the base of my neck. Sometimes, when squatting my longest dreads get caught under the bar. Does anybody have suggestions on how to avoid this? Whenever I see videos of people with dreads squatting I don’t see them doing anything special with their hair but it doesn’t seem to get caught.

A while back a jmod posted about being able to skip phases in telos practice mode by using an item on telos. Has there been any update or discussion about when they're planning to make this change?
