That would be the difference between a salaried and hourly worker
Thank you for sharing this story.

By chance, would you mind sharing your prompts?

I've been building agentic voice workflows with nearly 2 decades of healthcare experience. Would love to talk if you're available.
We invite everyone, Jewish or not. We've hosted so many people, strangers and friends alike. It makes more sense to Jews, but it's also a great conversation to have with others.

Railroad guy was Russell Butler. He was relatively prolific and had an insta account.

Re:AI Slop Is Killing Online Communities on Thursday May 07, 2026 @03:23PM (#48053645)
I feel you. Especially in the larger subreddita. i participate, and mod, a few small ones, and the community there is pretty strong and folks shut down ai slop pretty quickly.

I'm not saying being a mod means it's bullet proof, but i do notice smaller communities tend to self police better and know what's real.

That said, your experiment scares me as well.

Well done. Couple quick notes, move to a logger instead of using IO.puts. Also consider adding OTel.

In the Software Engineer role, I can't tell if you had a misspelling: `work on pir partner projects`?

I'm interested in learning more, but the majority of my experience is in elixir and python. Would that prohibit any conversation?
These components look like an excellent entry into the reliability of form components. I have tried them yet, but look forward to testing them out
Re:Why Everyone Hates the Electronic Medical Record on Tuesday January 30, 2024 @09:45AM (#39190638)
Hey Duff, you're right, healthcare is broken in so many places, and insurers are probably the worst in this morass. They selectively follow Milligan care guidelines, build tools that actively discourage anyone from understanding and/or fighting for fair care and bills, and basically pretend they're doing you a favor but making you pay for your services, then showing a marked down EoB that pretend like they saved you money but knocking off 80% of a bill that was prenegotiated, and you're the one footing the bill. Insurers have no incentive to make healthcare better, and though hospitals are disjointed they still make so much money, it doesn't matter how badly they are run.

But aside from the insurance companies, the first large scale emr systems (Cerner, McKesson, and even Epic) were built as operational tools to essentially give accounting access to Crystal reports. Sure, electronic charts should make the patient's life better, and assist trained medical staff in tracking, however they ultimately are used to figure out how the CBO can game the insurer financial incentive system. CPT + ICD +modifiers (oh, and 85% of those cpt codes are under copyright by the corrupt AMA - yup i have a different bone to pick with them).

I agree that operational dysfunction is the biggest problem in these behemoths, and there's so much ineptitude in administrative staffing that it's a nightmare. Doctors like to believe they're the bees knees and everyone should kowtow to them, but they usually can't run a business to save their lives. It's easy for them to simply blame an EMR than to acknowledge the truth of a dysfunctional system they are a part of.

Glad to see you're still kicking ass, better than sameday.

Re:Losing my son on Saturday January 20, 2024 @10:28PM (#39075255)
I'm sorry to say i know your pain.

No words will make this easier, it just dulls over time.

I understand the motivation for stability and applaud you for that. My experiences were similar.

But i don't want my kids going to ivy League. I want them to study what they need to know, have fun, and explore. We aren't rich, and they know that, and that level of stuffy education would be better in graduate or post grad, when they pay you to study there.
