Shem Magnezi is from Tel Aviv, and started his software engineering career when he was in high school. It wasn't really professional, just hacking some stuff together, which is the way he learned the typical starting tools like HTML, Javascript, and the like. Post college, he served in the Israeli Military, in intelligence, and then moved into startups, then bigger companies like Facebook, and then - into his current venture. Outside of tech, he is a family man with 2 kids, and he loves to play and watch football (or soccer for us stateside).
Throughout their time in the industry, Shem and his co-founders saw a big gap in the industry - between theoretical knowledge and what is actually done on the job in a company. They wanted to set out and build something to bridge that gap - an immersive experience, that not only prepares engineers... but takes them on a quest.
This is the creation story of Wilco.

For most of human existence, we looked up at the night sky and thought that was all there was to the universe.
However, in the 20th century, as telescopes improved, we made a shocking discovery. The universe was much, much larger than we supposed, and some of those points of light in the sky were, in fact, collections of stars themselves.
Learn more about galaxies, what they are made of, and all about our own, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The study of classic and contemporary films can provide a powerful avenue to understand the experience of mental illness. In Madness at the Movies: Understanding Mental Illness through Film (Johns Hopkins UP, 2023), James Charney, MD, a practicing psychiatrist and long-time cinephile, examines films that delve deeply into characters' inner worlds, and he analyzes moments that help define their particular mental illness.
Based on the highly popular course that Charney taught at Yale University and the American University of Rome, Madness at the Movies introduces readers to films that may be new to them and encourages them to view these films in an entirely new way. Through films such as Psycho, Taxi Driver, Through a Glass Darkly, Night of the Hunter, A Woman Under the Influence, Ordinary People, and As Good As It Gets, Charney covers an array of disorders, including psychosis, paranoia, psychopathy, depression, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and anxiety. He examines how these films work to convey the essence of each illness. He also looks at how each film reflects the understanding of mental illness at the time it was released as well as the culture that shaped that understanding.
Charney explains how to observe the behaviors displayed by characters in the films, paying close attention to signs of mental illness. He demonstrates that learning to read a film can be as absorbing as watching one. By viewing these films through the lens of mental health, readers can hone their observational skills and learn to assess the accuracy of depictions of mental illness in popular media.
