I mean, for every hour I spend writing production code - I spend an hour in agile meetings, and 2 hours chasing down obscure bugs in javascript libraries. Not that many professions are "do visible part of work 100%".

Heck, I hear bricklayers need to spend some time mixing cement and getting bricks off the truck, not just scooping mud and sticking bricks.

Health records ARE a big part of the product of a doctor. Keeping a good chart and finding trends over time is a bit part of the service you need.

> Health records ARE a big part of the product of a doctor

I long for practices that would keep no record of my issues, except what I volunteer to them at the beginning of the consult. Many countries do that just fine, but for some reason in the US I am asked to fill pages on insignificant trivia to cover their ass or follow some weird law or tradition maybe?

I don't want perfect healthcare. Good enough is fine!

So now I just see doctors when traveling. Simpler, faster, and cheaper too.

Hum. So much about healthcare is about trends. How your blood pressure is today vs a month ago matters a lot more than holding up your number to a chart. Having actual good medical history would be super helpful.

Then I will keep the records, or my smart watch or smart phone.

Your analogies would make more sense if you spent 2 hours on documentation for every hour you spent coding or bug finding.

If that documentation includes user manuals, sign me up!

A mostly functional program with amazing docs beats a more functional black box.
