Andrew Grove treats management as a production system, but the deeper claim is that information workers are managers — their raw material is information, their output is influence. In modern Big Tech, being "a manager" isn't a promotion. It's just different work.
Read narrowly, Wong Kim Ark's actual holding only covers children of permanent legal residents. For 127 years, every branch followed the broader dicta instead — until now. A close reading of holding versus dicta, reliance interest, and what the Court is likely to do.
Healthcare's fragmentation isn't an accident — it's federalism plus misaligned incentives, where EHR vendors profit by locking customers in. NexHealth's Synchronizer attacks the problem at the technical layer, with the law (and a recent 4th Circuit ruling) on its side, eventually.
My operating principles: be serious but not too serious, be curious and build a shared mind, be radically transparent, move fast and break things.
How WhatsApp actually worked: Erlang/BEAM/OTP all the way down, the biggest machines money could buy, location-transparent actors, and code hotloading as deployment. They bucked every Cloud Computing canon and ran the world's largest messaging system with a tiny team.
California's non-partisan commission produced a worse minority seat-to-vote ratio than Texas's partisan one in 2024. The deeper culprit isn't gerrymandering — it's winner-takes-all single-seat districts. Multi-seat districts with ranked-choice voting would do real work here.
A short verse on the choice between half-full and half-empty — I think it is a very important choice. It is a fundamental choice. It affects you more in your life, Much more than in your work.
Joining NexHealth as Director of Engineering. Software and AI are eating the world — it's time they ate healthcare too. The mission: build the infrastructure layer that lets EHRs, doctors, developers, and patients actually exchange data.
After more time pair-coding with Claude Code, the awe wears off. It's an overly eager junior with raw smarts and no taste — fast, useful for onboarding, but prone to ridiculous code that you'd reject from a new grad.
A Parley transcript on Python's asyncio, Trio, and structured concurrency. The arc is almost comical: callbacks to promises to async/await to TaskGroups — we hid the tree structure of concurrency, then had to put it back. We should have stuck with future monads.
