Lost Grandmother due to complications of RA

My grandmother passed away three days ago after battling RA for nearly 29 years. I truly believe she could’ve lived longer if the doctors back home hadn't made such critical mistakes. There aren’t many experienced rheumatologists in my hometown in Uzbekistan. When she went to a state hospital, a doctor switched her from Prednisolone to Humira. It helped at first, but once she stopped the Prednisolone and switched to monthly Humira, her pain and swallowing got much worse. She kept going back to the hospital, but they never helped her.

After four months, she started getting headaches and had an MRI, but they still couldn't figure out what was wrong. She went back on Prednisolone, but after three days, she was rushed to the ICU with low blood pressure. She never really recovered and just kept getting worse. After a week, the doctors strangely moved her to a regular unit even though she could barely speak or recognize anything. They eventually sent her home. We rushed her to a private neurologist, but she didn’t improve and slipped into a coma. They sent her home again, and she passed away the next day at 71 😢

She was like a mother to me since I was raised by my grandparents. I moved abroad for school seven years ago, first to Malaysia and then the USA, and visa issues kept me from making it to her funeral. It’s the saddest day of my life. My grandfather also passed away at 71 from diabetes four years ago, and I wasn't able to get home for that, either.

Luckily she visited the US for just under a month last year, and that was the last time I saw her in person. I was so happy to travel and spend time with her, even though I didn't realize it would be the last time. I don't know how I'll ever get over this loss, or if I even can. I've only managed to visit home country a couple of times in the last 7 years to see my grandparents. I've always had bad luck whenever I tried to go back, with things like Covid travel restrictions or financial and visa issues constantly getting in the way.

Keep your loved ones close and value their kindness and memories. Time flies, and you’ll regret not spending enough time with them later.☹️

JobPilot - a job-search agent that runs on Claude Code or Codex

I built JobPilot to handle the repetitive parts of a job search. It's an AI agent that applies to jobs for you. It searches for jobs across different job portals, tailors your resume based on the job description, fills out applications, and optionally can search for hiring manager contacts and send them messages via email or LinkedIn. All from a real browser on your machine, on your Claude Code or Codex subscription. v2 is out now.

Key Features:

- Finds jobs across LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor, Wellfound, and others (you can add your own job boards), scored against your resume.

- Tailors a resume and optionally writes a cover letter per job.

- Fills out applications, including screening questions.

- Drafts recruiter outreach. It can try to find recruiter contacts and send messages via email or LinkedIn.

- Watches your inbox and updates your pipeline as replies come in (rejected, invitation to interview, offer, etc.).

- Web dashboard for profile, resumes, campaigns, and pipeline. You keep track of your progress and job status in analytics.

- Local agent terminal that drives a real browser you can watch. It's a small terminal application that runs in the background for interacting with Claude Code or Codex CLI.

- Pilot mode: it's a fully autonomous mode that does everything above. Give it your goals, and it builds its own search strategies, works through them on a schedule, and only pings you (sends a push notification to your phone) when the agent is uncertain and needs your decision.

You have two modes:

- Semi-automatic mode (called "campaigns" in the app): You can control everything, such as which jobs you want to apply for, by providing job URLs to the agent. It also has an auto-apply mode where you specify a search query, and the AI searches for jobs based on your query and resume fit, then attempts to apply without prior approval.

- Fully automated mode (called "pilot"): The autonomous agent independently determines how to search for and apply for jobs based on your profile and resume. You simply provide your goal (e.g., a prompt like "prioritize X, Y roles, and Z skills"). You can set daily limits, like applying to 50 jobs and discovering 10 recruiter networks.

It runs on your existing Claude Code or Codex subscription. No API key, no per-token charges, everything local.

It's open-source and free.

Very slow I-20 OPT porcessing

Does anyone know where I can complain about OGS? I applied for an I-20 OPT request on April 20th, and they denied my request because of missing files. Although I uploaded all files in the e-form, it's impossible to submit a form without first uploading files. There was a bug in myOGS website that somehow ignored my files, and it wasn't even my fault. I wasted so much time just waiting to be denied because of this issue. I submitted a new request, but it's still been stuck in processing since the end of April. I'm already in my grace period, and I have to get EAD as soon as possible. I've tried to reach out to them multiple times, and they always send me a templated answer. I even tried to reach out to a DSO stated in my I-20 and never got a reply back.

I don't know why it's so slow. I remember when I applied for OPT for my bachelor's at a different school, they updated my I-20 immediately during the virtual meeting. I received my EAD in just 3 weeks. It really annoys me that there's virtually no support for international students at Northeastern.

I built a platform that generates Open Graph images, blog covers, and favicons by just pasting the URL of your page.

It analyzes your page content and generates an AI image based on it. You add the image to your site by attaching a couple of meta tags.

It has two modes: template-based (unlimited) and AI image generation (limited by plan).

What's different from other image generation platforms:

You paste a URL and it generates the image and stores it in cloud storage indefinitely.
You attach the image with OG meta tags, so you don't have to copy/paste any file into your site. If you want to change the image later, just regenerate it. The meta tags stay the same.
It reads your page content and theme, then generates the AI image based on that.
Free SEO audit tool that analyzes the page and gives recommendations to improve it.

It removes the headache of maintaining OG images if you have a lot of sites or pages.

Free to get started: https://ogstack.dev

You can generate images directly in the web dashboard or via REST API
