First, this is not an argument against posting this post...
This is an excellent post (I've shared it on). It'd be a great service to the HN community to do these as an AMA-type-thing. Deva is on here and is very generous with her time but it'd certainly embiggen the impactyness to have a "Deva will be on from 10AM-12PM PT on 2020-08-24 to answer questions. Not medical advice, etc." and "Deva's out." sticky notes at the top.
[In which I suggest someone else undertake an obligation for the community... Aware of that. It's just lovely to have such a person/resource in the community and it'd be good to set expectations (none/some) around her involvement since people are dropping in questions and (I assume) hoping for (free) advice/counsel.]
I'm sure Deva would be up for it, she does it for some patient groups she works with on Facebook, but I'm not sure if Hacker News is a good place for it? Also speaking as Deva's husband I think the kids and I would like to see her at dinner more, joking (she is a regular attendee at dinner), but you would not believe how much effort and time she puts into researching, thinking about and working on these things (along with everything else she is doing).
