„One group I knew at Apple even made “Not a Regression” T-shirts. If a bug isn’t a regression, they don’t have to fix it. That’s why the iCloud photo upload bug and the contact syncing bug I mentioned above may never be fixed.“ https://t.co/XxHNaeVWNI

Someone should publish the % amount of revenue that comes from at-risk/value based contracts for every provider/care delivery system (over time as a bonus)

Can tell very quickly who's serious about moving away from fee-for-service that way

How to improve the quality of health care: "I want every health care encounter to have three constituents : the physician, the patient, and the future patient." - @JamieHeywood. A conversation at @harvardmed's Biomedical Informatics Entrepreneurs Salon with @zakkohane.

I completed 16 years in testing

95% of the bugs I found were supposed to have been found during unit testing.

It amazes me that I have built a career out of finding things I was not supposed to.

Long live unit testing.

Observation:

As a company scales, high-throughput is predicated on giving people read-access to critical data to allow for asynchronous productivity without communication.

In a sense, "just Slacking" someone is a short-term fix with long-term consequences.

good morning

A strategy for thinking clearly:

Rather than trying to be right, assume you are wrong and try to be less wrong.

Trying to be right has a tendency to devolve into protecting your beliefs.

Trying to be less wrong has a tendency to prompt more questions and intellectual humility.

This a truly special group and is an absolute privilege to be a part of. No matter where it ends up, it’s an experience I know I’m going to look back fondly on for the rest of my life.

I’m biased, but this is a group and a mission you want to join.

When we think of medical records now we think of results of discrete events like doctor visits and blood tests and scans, but in a few decades it will be more like sensor data.

@mipsytipsy For folks asking, I wrote a pretty in-depth post on this when I was @GoTurbine “Deploy != Release” https://t.co/deNXUEFZvt And @copyconstruct wrote a fantastic piece on testing in production that provides deep context on why the distinction matters https://t.co/AEYhG6RRsB
