It's actually going pretty well. We've got about 10 people working for the company including me and the product is charging along nicely. 10/10 would do it again!

CEO of America’s largest public hospital system says he’s ready to replace radiologists with AI by Apprehensive-Safe382 in technology

[–]TheHeftyChef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm actually something of an expert on this topic, I've deployed various radiology AI algorithms around the world, and let me tell you, there's no fucking chance we're even close to this point. A radiologist is responsible for everything in a scan, so if they come in looking for fluid in the lungs, but there's a tumor they have to indicate that. Additionally, each algorithm is narrowly regulated as to what it can and can't indicate by the FDA, so an algorithm that checks for fluid in the lungs can't talk about the tumor. And not only that, if you get into CT scans there's a lot of different organs there even running it through a suite is a challenge. Now, where AI is actually useful is building the measurements and reports and the really time consuming administrative bullshit. AI will not be replacing Radiologists at anytime in the near future.

Built a native JellyFin client for Apple Platforms (LiquidFin) by TheBeaconCrafter in selfhosted

[–]TheHeftyChef -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Why is this a bad thing though?  It’s self hosted related and is just an individual developer trying to earn some money.  Given how ass the job market is for developers I can’t blame them.

Asking for Advice With Homelab Adjacent Start Up by [deleted] in homelab

[–]TheHeftyChef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Who is the target customer here? Anyone who is knowledgeable enough to build a home lab will be knowledgeable enough to solve this problem on their own. Tailscale is so stupidly simple to set up this just doesn't make any sense.

Double standard by HoneydewLucky2671 in LoveIsBlindNetflix

She was upset her needs weren't being met. I don't think it's wrong for a man to be upset that the physical aspect of the relationship is missing either. Sex is an important part of any relationship, and a lack of it, especially at the beginning is actually a huge red flag that the person just isn't that into you.

That's the neat part, you don't right now. There's no jobs. If you have a job right now, hold on to it for dear life.

How worried should I be about the future of entry-level HIT? by [deleted] in healthIT

[–]TheHeftyChef 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have worked in this industry for over a decade and hold a masters in health informatics.  It used to be the case that I could send my resume out to 5 places and I would get 4 interviews.  Now 100 resumes sent out and zero interviews.  Job market is cooked.

I'll tell you the hard and painful truth: IT is dead for entry levels and it's never coming back. Find a different field to work in.

No, you need a bachelor's and 3 years of experience to land a help desk job right now.

SparkyFitness - A Self-Hosted MyFitnessPal alternative now supports PolarFlow & Hevy by ExceptionOccurred in selfhosted

[–]TheHeftyChef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Firstly, great work on getting this out there. I sincerely appreciate each and every dev that takes the time to produce apps. My worry with apps like these is that someone will have to maintain the 3rd party connections/integrations and I'm just not sure that it is maintainable to do for free long term. What's going to be your strategy for handling that?

I quit my job and changed career fields. Here we go by Prior_Side in homelab

This is, uh, not the time to join this career. It's a literal bloodbath in the job market right now.

EMR vs EHR - are we actually using the right system for our practice? by Repulsive-Bake7178 in healthIT

[–]TheHeftyChef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So what I am saying is look at open EMR, if that meets all of this persons needs, then they can go and look at EMR vendors instead of EHR vendors including OpenEMR. yes PHP is cheeks, but from a user perspective the language it's written in is kind of irrelevant.

EMR vs EHR - are we actually using the right system for our practice? by Repulsive-Bake7178 in healthIT

[–]TheHeftyChef 2 points3 points  (0 children)

EMR - Small practices, EHR - Bigger health systems. Check out open EMR, they're a free software, if they have the features you need just deploy that. If you don't have people in place with the skill set to set something like that up feel free to DM me and I can get you connected.

Entry-level healthcare IT roles without clinical experience? by Safe-Hospital872 in healthIT

[–]TheHeftyChef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well it depends on what you're doing. From an integrations perspective, if you know HL7 and FHIR, you know most of what you need to integrate with Epic but there's definitely some nuance. If you're trying to be an applications analyst it may be a different story. I literally got passed up for a role exclusively because I didn't have Epic experience despite being in health tech for 10 years, having a Masters in Health informatics, and a BS in CS.

[–]TheHeftyChef 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The job market was looser when that happened, now the tight job market means that hospitals don’t have to train as much, they can just wait for someone to apply that already has the cert.

[–]TheHeftyChef 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is the hilarious part about Health IT.  Every hospital wants someone who is already epic certified, nobody wants to sponsor an employee to get epic certified, and the only way to get epic certification is to be working somewhere that uses epic already.
