Abstract Social hierarchy influences behavior, resource access, and health, but the neural mechanisms underlying individual differences in social competition remain incompletely understood. Using a novel competitive platform test and assessment of region-specific activation in male and female mice, we found a range of social hierarchies as determined by time on platform, revealing greater behavioral complexity than previously described and improved stability in females.

Job hunting is exhausting. Between tweaking resumes, updating portfolios, and filling out endless application forms, the absolute worst part has always been writing a custom cover letter for every single role. Let's be honest: nobody wants to write them, and recruiters rarely want to read generic templates.

🦄 I shipped a linter that fails your commit if you won't admit AI touched the code, and then did the most predictable thing possible—let nine months of the data sit there untouched while I busied myself with other things. Then I actually looked at it: nine months of footers piled up in git log like a lonely change jar. Every one of them said how much of those commits were mine, but I hadn't ever sat down and actually counted the jar. So I built the thing to count it.
