The Sonic Hedgehog gene would like a word.

This is just an article about bad leadership, with game dev as the given example.

These things are universal, and I assume must be taught. You couldn’t arrive at the same output so pervasively by chance.

Whatever argument you may have against DST, “my cron jobs won’t run twice a year!” is not a strong one.

Agreed, Nim is a fantastic language and heavily under-rated. Moved from Swift about 12 months ago and development has never been more Pleasant.

My only complaint is that the threading/async model and how memory and GC pools are managed per thread took me a bit to get used to, but the speed and C FFI are fantastic.

Also would say that the community is very helpful, particularly on the Discord/IRC channels I have used.

Their RIS and PACS software is also objectively poor, and they actively promote vendor lockin with solutions like iSyntax in the old IntelliSpace, and a horrifically bad and non-conforming IHE SWF implementation in Vue (which is partly Carestream’s fault to be fair).

They will also prefer to gaslight their clients rather than fix issues, and good luck if you’re already committed to an (un)managed service from them.

This is the most coherent and IMO accurate take on AI/LLM I have seen in 5 years.

As a specialist in one of the original industries Geoffrey Hinton predicted would be gone (Radiology) my job remains safe and even more in demand 9 years later.

Meanwhile, as a hobbyist programmer, I’m suddenly able to build multiple production tools solving real problems, simply because AI agents are doing the scut-work for me and optimising my time into code review and architectural design. For $200/month, it’s paying for itself many times over.

This is a frustration, but burnout among doctors (senior and junior) is largely due to either corporatisation of private care or defunding of public care, leading to unmanageable workloads, scapegoating after patient harm events, and loss of autonomy.

Don’t worry, we have definitely also done that.

Ah Excel, the second-best tool for everything.

Probably why the consultancy who produced the report referenced here was delighted to point it out.
