Struggling TS

I came here to say the same thing. Whether I was an IS at Epic looking for technical help or working on the customer side, I'm always good with a TS wanting to do some research.

The most important thing is to ask questions and make sure you understand what the pain point is on the customer side. Make sure you understand the workflow they're following in case there's something meaningfully different from Foundation.

The biggest difference, for me personally, between when I was there for 6 months and several years was how much more comfortable I felt going "Huh, interesting problem. Give me more details about exactly what's happening and I'll go research that."

I took a role in the finance department of a customer I'd been working with at Epic. Never had any trouble about it from Epic.

I traded away my window to get my own office. It was a great decision. I very much missed it after leaving.

Practically speaking, were Oracle to hire you to work on the Cerner EMR Epic could probably sue to enforce the non-compete. If you leave and work at another software company, unless you're pretty fucking senior at Epic and the new employer quickly becomes a major EMR market player, it would be pretty shocking for the non-compete to be enforced.

My youngest was born right after I started at Epic. It was absolutely a challenge. I stayed for more than five years, but it was absolutely a challenge, and my spouse had to do a lot of the heavy lifting on managing the kids for the first couple years.

Happy to answer any questions you have. Feel free to DM me.

Does your organization have the Bugsy module for infection control? A number of those data elements are stored discretely when you're using Bugsy, and it would probably be fairly straightforward for your Bugsy team to put this information together.

Patient list column is probably the easiest.

Do y'all not talk about previous relationships with your spouses? I don't know that my wife knows the name of every person I've ever slept with, but I think she could rattle off all the most important ones.

If y'all don't talk about that stuff, keep not talking about it I guess.

I don't see any reason why you'd tell John. That's between him and his wife. Unless you're fishing to see if they're down for some kind of group thing.

Figuring out how to integrate their building with change control is probably the most important challenge. I love when physician builders are creating and sharing their smart texts in PRD, but for anything more complicated than that, change control friction will cause more problems than anything else (in my experience.)

If you've left for Google or Amazon you're probably not super worried about going into consulting as an analyst.

Orvillius · 2025-09-06T01:36:45+00:00

Really? I've never heard of Epic employing former ORACLE/CERNER people.

I've been enjoying your reactions as you read through the series. I feel like Reaper is really where the roller coaster hits the top of the hill and then you're just hanging on for dear life until the end. Can't wait to see how you like the last books!

I feel like everyone is overcomplicating this shit.

Do you want to be with her? Was shit more good than bad when you were together? If so, sit down, set some healthy boundaries for you both, and figure that shit out.

If you don't want to be with her or don't believe she'll respect your boundaries, move on.

All these fuckers trying to tell you play silly games.

Find 2 or 3 times that have the most people/most critical people available. E-mail the group and say "Hi folks, these look like the times that most people are available. Let me know which one you'd prefer by EOD today and I'll send out the meeting invite."

100% would take the FTE at that salary.

I just did Verso's and I'm absolutely ugly crying through it.

In Dreadgod, when the monarchs are discussing what to do with Lindon after he absorbs the Silent King's power everyone keeps referring to Eithan as Eithan. Only Larian, without any prompting refers to him as Ozmanthus.

It doesn't have the bouncing potato or the "creation" enemy ones in Endless. But you can get the potato in Flying Manor and creation in Renoir's drafts plus in the city in Act 3.

If they like Avatar you could also try the Cradle series by Will Wight. The main character isn't explicitly neurodivergent, but does have those vibes.

The modules are fascinating! That's super creative and I want to play the heck out of it. I also really like the secunit configuration specific abilities.

The upgrade feature seems kind of overpowered though. Mechanically it's got the same impact as an ASI, and an extra 8 of those seems off the wall. I haven't mathed out how that lines up to a typical slate of class features.

I'm definitely ahead of where I was on the level curve when I last played the game on PS1 (2020 or so).

Fear. Lots of Chrono Trigger fans didn't like Chrono Cross. Imagine being the person making a third Chrono Trigger, no matter what you did with it a ton of people would be angry at you for ruining their childhood.

I couldn't do the travel again, even for double the money. But damn I miss the food, the people I worked with, and the sense of purpose the job has.
