Ask HN: How do effective CEOs manage time?
How do effective CEOs manage time?
Shouldn't they use at least a calendar filled with scheduled tasks for at least a week upfront and reminder apps?
I think that business entities are a bit more abstract to bear the labels used for human bodies and it sounds strange for me. I would never buy anything from a company with any human name. This CEO is a PhD and his dissertation is aligned with my main interests, but I do not want to get into another type of bs with this CEO assistant job.
What do you think about a CEO providing a female human name to one of his businesses?

But today I've had an offer for another CEO assistant job aligned with my more of my main interests (biophysics and biotech) for a company dealing with biolab equipment and reagents. I may have the basic (administrative and clerical) skills they require for this job, though less experience. The advantage is that it will allow to dive deeper into the biotech world and have staff trained in neurobiology as myself. And the main disadvantage is 3x longer commute time. Also their staff seems to be mainly russians settled in a baltic EU country and due to recent global events I have a mental allergy to any type of russians in the EU. At first I declined their offer and they said that ok they have enough candidates to choose from. Then I called again and got an invitation for an interview tomorrow.
Should I choose a job with a longer commute time aligned with my main interests or a more comfortable job aligned with my auxiliary interests?
If I'd be using Wordpress, I'd like to try to use as few plugins as possible, but in its general description (marketing) Wordpress seems to try to optimize for SEO by default. As Django/Flask may not be as SEO friendly as Wordpress, I can just perform SEO optimization with the above-mentioned tools.
As I understand SEO (beginner level), I may also need to SEO optimize the names of tabs and images. If I do all this manually or with above-mentioned tools, would it be comparable to what Wordpress SEO plugins are actually doing?

But for a few recent months it seems I've seen some news on HN as about once per month that someone's Wordpress site was hacked.
Which web framework may be better for a small agency (or in a general business case): Wordpress or Django/Flask?
Can you describe a typical workflow and which other tools/frameworks/keywords/etc (like REST) I need to use for this?
As I am a bit nervous that I am self-taught in this field, though have tons of materials on that, but this job may provide some resources for my main projects.
During the completion of my MA thesis in cognitive neuroscience my advisor told that, for example, you do not need to get as many (human) subjects as possible, as 500 measurements of 100 parameters on a one subject scientifically is rather comparable to 500 measurements of a 1 parameter in 100 subjects. As he was trained in animal learning, it seems rather logical, as in animal studies to train a rat to press a lever to get a reward the rat needs to perform 100s of random movements to learn that by hitting the lever it gets it and the researcher needs to measure all of them.
So I thought it may be a good idea to build a platform for all sorts of biohackers for (pseudorandomized[1]) decentralized at-home trials, with in-depth standardized data collection protocols, with some ML for personalized predictions and comparisons. Is it really? Would anyone like to participate?
