Draftable makes document comparison software, mainly for lawyers. We're looking for an experienced commercial leader to drive our global sales strategy and growth from Australia. It's a high-impact role, reporting directly to the CEO, with significant influence over business strategy.
Our dev and product teams are killing it, we've just brought on fantastic marketing and People leaders, and now we're looking to complete the exec team with a sales leader who can build on our strong momentum (700+ firms signed since launching our legal product in mid-2023).

Based on oxygen levels, mine also varies from subclinial to "medium" apnea. I was deemed not to have sleep apnea based on the take-home test or the in-hospital test... but I wore my oxygen-logging ring during the in-hospital test to check it was calibrated to the hospital's equipment (it was), and the specialist then diagnosed me based on my measurements of oxygen levels on other nights.

Is there a plugin or something that enables list folding in a markdown file? I'm wondering whether it's time to migrate the Dynalist parts of my system to Obsidian and that's the big thing I'd miss.

"In this retrospective, multicentre cohort study, we included all adult inpatients (≥18 years old) with laboratory confirmed COVID-19 from Jinyintan Hospital and Wuhan Pulmonary Hospital (Wuhan, China) who had been discharged or had died by Jan 31, 2020."
There might be a bunch of patients who needed ventilation and went on to survive, but had not been discharged before the cut-off date.

We’re looking for an experienced and self-reliant engineer to work across our Python/Django and JS/React stack. We expect you to work a full time load of 40 hours per week (and no more) and to be very productive during that time.
We know you have a life outside work, so we will respect your non-working and family time. We don’t expect you to make work your life.
We’re easy-going and easy to work with. We’re developer-led and have a flat structure. We are collaborative, and we expect you to take an active role in evolving our engineering culture. We like writing things down. We love Slack. We launch things as soon as they’re ready. We do things right the first time, even if it takes a little longer. We don’t have much technical debt.
