Sure, it was iron overload [1]. I thought I could "eat like an adult" there and catch up on leafy greens which I always hated. But it turns out I hated them because my body can't p…

I "burned out" while working at a FAANG and it just turned out to be a health problem, accelerated by the food there. All of my side projects from the time are extremely uninspired…
