I was taught that the point of a thank you note is to get your name in front of them one more time. It's a form of advertising; they might have done 5 interviews that day, 5 the previous day, and have 5 more scheduled for tomorrow. You want them to remember you over the next person who has the same qualifications.

I left during the API kerfuffle even though I didn't use an app. I had been thinking about getting off of it for some time prior to that because I realized doomscrolling was negatively affecting my mental health. So I followed the refugees from /r/DaystromInstitute to startrek.website.

Article 5 doesn't oblige members to take any particular action. It only says that an attack on one is an attack on all, and leaves it to each member to decide what actions, if any, they will take in response.

This is somewhat similar to how Nicaraguan sign language was developed. Basically, kids at a school for the deaf invented it.
