    Young/Innovative Companies for Physicians?

    My wife is a physician. Like many physicians she feels sort of abused by the system - burnt out, feels like a cog in the wheel, she really cares about quality but that she's incent…

    Lots of bold, unsubstantiated claims. I think every time there is a big peak, or a big valley, some percentage of people are always peddling "but this is different"

    My understanding is that Gates and Epstein were more or less just acquaintances, but it seems you think otherwise. What am I missing?

    I'll never understand this sentiment. You don't have to have alerts from slack outside of business hours. Or respond in general. If I responded or looked at my messages every time …

    Just wanted to say this is completely inconsistent with almost all people I know who work/have worked at Amazon as developers

    You gave yourself away as ignorant when you tried to explain that the system is optimized for doctors. This is especially rich on a forum like hacker news, where we have many softw…

    This seems like there isn't buy-in to the OKRs across your employer. My company does OKRs and it's taken seriously by VPs as well as the devs. Here, it's very reasonable to say no …

    A couple of big reasons don't like message buses (but open to hearing about why I'm wrong): -All "requests" will succeed even if malformed -Couples producers/consumers to the bus (…

    I think I agree with you - I'm just trying to understand the other perspective from someone that seems to think not having exceptions is an improvement. I've mostly worked using ja…

    Aren't you supposed to check all the possible errors in golang anyway? How's that any different than java code being littered with error handling code?

    > Why is REST so popular? You think this guy is a hateful hipster, but most of what he says probably resonates with most software vets. To me, it's mostly against the REST zealots …

    To counter anecdote with anecdote, I've had no issues with coinbase and have found them pleasant to use. That includes transferring to gdax/selling/withdrawing, etc.

    If it is so obvious that snap "shouldn't be a public company", then the price would be far lower than the ~$12 it's at now..

    To me, this sounds like it's the perspective of a pampered person. You really don't think Amazon opening a campus in a city with stagnating or negative job growth would be good for…

    Weird, I always ignored the news 'show' but this prompted me to watch it and it had nothing that you just brought up. It talked the Barcelona attack, Bannon getting fired, and a co…

    I think a related thing people say (that makes me cringe) is that xyz is "just a CRUD app", quite dismissively. You could argue that the vast majority of applications are "just CRU…
