NoteThe source confirms Raymond Arnold (username: raemon) is part of the LessWrong team as of the 2021 publication date. The source explicitly states the LessWrong 2.0 team was founded in 2017, which aligns with the claimed startDate. While the source does not explicitly state Arnold's title as 'Developer,' it lists him as part of the Campus team (distinct from the Site team which includes the software engineer Ruby). The source does mention that Jim Babcock is 'paid by us as an independent Open Source contributor to the LessWrong website, and helps a lot with development,' and that Habryka 'still fix[es] bugs, answer[s] support requests and write[s] code.' Arnold's specific role is not explicitly labeled as 'Developer' in this source, but his presence on the team in 2017 and association with LessWrong is confirmed.
