The blue blocking lens addition that's sold for regular glasses is very dumb, your optometrist was correct. First, you want blue light during the day so why would you want to have that on glasses you wear all day? And two, they don't block nearly enough blue light to make a difference at night. You need the very orange tinted safety glasses for that. Those absolutely do work.
in the USA, medical guild members are trained to ignore non-guild member theory from the very first year of specialization IMHO.. secondly, there are legal consequences for those that do not adhere to guild doctrine, or could be exposed to legal threat.. IMHO medical guild information is conservative often, but surpasses simple science when pressed in controversy.
Myopia is the cornea slowly becoming football shaped instead of round. While the effects can be lessened through various methods, the myopia will indeed eventually overcome such methods.
Can’t make a football into a soccer ball without surgery.
Ophthalmology is not so much /theory/ as over 100 years of study, discourse, research, and practical application.
What you're proposing is /theory/ with few actual studies, research, or practical applications beyond some few people 'trying' something new.
Again, you may be able to lessen the football shaping with various methods. But at the end of the day, the body wants it to be a football, and you want it to be a soccer ball. Guess which of those competitors wins?
I understand what you're saying. I was just stating my practical experience. I'm not arguing anything here. My eyes are healing with visible and measured improvement, and I cannot care less about which theory matches reality, or what any theory out there says about what should and shouldn't happen.
TLDR: Don't bet on Unity's success. Bet on their collapse. The place has zero integrity in management. I've never worked at a worse managed place, and I hope I never do again.
(Disclaimer: two of my three engineering managers were actually very good skilled engineers and managers (the one bad one was the "people manager", who "always knew he wanted to be a manager" and was put in charge of an engineering team... he had followed an engineering director from app dynamics). It's the business management steering the ship that I think is the problem)
I used to work at Unity. I left quickly after what I saw.
The biggest problem at Unity: Internal Distractions. Slack channels are filled with political discussions (As you might venture to guess: It's a race to the bottom of the Oppression Olympics-- lots of "no my group is more marginalized!" "no mine is!" type of people).
Me, as a Software Engineer-- I was working while other employees were arguing about political issues (as if they could change each others minds-- unlikely, and a waste of time.)
I thought "How is HR allowing people to NOT work yet instead spend that time arguing politics in so many slack channels? Who is doing the real work here?"
Then there was the main problem (For me) of being hired into a bait-and-switch role (after the 7 or 8 interviews... Lord have mercy...)
I was told:
- You'll be fully remote, you can work from anywhere. (My manager soon told me: No, we hired head count in <Your City> and we expect you to stay there. Because I like to visit for 1-2 days every quarter, and I want to see the whole team.)
- You'll be a NodeJS developer. (Turns out... you'll be a low-code Mulesoft developer, and maybe if you're lucky you'll work with NodeJS)
- We hire you on Salary. (Turns out... you'll be treated like an hourly employee. I took a 2 hour lunch break one day because I expected to be judged on my impact & contributions, not the time my rear-end is in a chair. "Yeah... I'm going to need you to keep your lunches to one hour only". It was then that I decided to resign.)
- They offered $110k base salary. I countered with $140k. I accepted $120k base, plus some stock. Had they paid me more, perhaps the BS I experienced would have been tolerable. But they didn't pay me the "Oh, and accept all of our BS" rate I asked for (looking back, I should have asked for much more, given what I saw internally).
After leaving Unity, I arrived at a company and it was such a breathe of fresh air to find that nowhere in Slack did anyone mention anything about their political opinions-- all the people actually worked. Unlike at Unity, where many people spend time arguing about irrelevant non-work topics.
I'm telling you-- I have never seen the amount of meaningless distracting politically argumentative conversations at a company as I did at Unity
Sounds like you got a particularly bad part of Unity (and I have heard about those parts, even if they were far from my line of work). I had a wonderful team/project at Unity and while there were some who would talk politics I can't imagine any of them spending hours arguing about it on the company hour. I can't definitely say no one did, because Unity had literal thousands of public channels to grok through (there was literally a channel dedicated to asking what channel to post a question in. It's that saturated).
But that might have been because my director shielded the team from a lot of the BS up top. Come 2022, I and quite a few others of my team were laid off, and within 12 months said director was also out of the company. I don't think it helped that Johacim took a silent leave within that timeframe either.
The only agreement I have with your experience is that you do have tons of interviews. But mine were all fit into one full-time day, and it was mostly to see if any of the teams in that office wanted me. So less "5 interviews for a single position" and more "5 interviews with 5 teams, and 1-2 with directors to ask about the company".
It least your Slack channels didn't include employees pasting in porn GIFs to comment on the clients who were currently in meetings with the commenter.
Various things. I am sure it is used by dozens if not hundreds of teams of engineers there for relevant projects, such as data integrations with REST or XML API systems.
