Got injured (brain). Airbnb and Uber eats is how I kept my family from being homeless until I recovered enough to program again.

Huge advantage being able to go at my own pace when I didn’t know how functional I would be on any given day

Not saying it’s a good company, but saved my family.

While I'm glad it worked out for you, it's also kinda dystopian to read how you had to work to keep your family under a roof in a time you probably should focus on healing. You shouldn't have had to do that at all, and in that sense I think some of these gig companies also prey on the needy.

Disability straight up laughed at me. I should have gotten a lawyer, but I couldn’t think straight or effectively communicate for a couple of years.

Make sure you’re taking creatine daily, some very promising data around brain injuries and I think it won’t do any harm. Hope you feel better soon.

Don't forget to give her Smeckler's powder

See my sibling comment about the promising research and thanks a lot for the snarky, uninformed response.

[pavel_lishin]

You're welcome! It is generally wildly unwise and rude to give medical advice based on three words in a comment, so I shan't be apologizing.

[andy_ppp]

Maybe you are right, but there are ways to communicate your feedback to people without being unwise and rude yourself.
