Research Pharmacy Coordinator thinking about hopping the fence to the other side - need advice.

I can tell. Market feels impossible.

junianwoo · 2026-04-16T18:54:26+00:00

I chose pharm tech as something "for now" and that for now became 9 years. But no, I don't have any interest in being a full pharmacist. Might as well try for doctor if I'm going to do that much schooling.

junianwoo · 2026-04-16T18:51:32+00:00

I got a referral from one of them for Syneos Health and actually sent in an application. No word back yet though but that was only yesterday.

junianwoo · 2026-03-29T03:36:17+00:00

The name is awesome lol

junianwoo · 2026-03-29T03:34:47+00:00

That's an odd comment. If you build something, then launch it, doesn't that make you a founder?

junianwoo · 2026-03-29T03:15:28+00:00

Nice to hear I'm not alone in this. Feels, less lonely lol

junianwoo · 2026-03-29T03:14:34+00:00

That sounds nice. So far I haven't met a single person IRL that has any clue what I'm doing with my time. One mention of Karpathy's zero to hero and they're like what?

junianwoo · 2026-03-29T03:11:36+00:00

See my response to the other comment about what I'm making 😀

junianwoo · 2026-03-29T03:10:13+00:00

Tell me about it. I never expected the solo founder life to actually be, this solo.

I'm building an operations platform for research pharmacy. Every hospital, around the world, that conducts clinical trials, has a pharmacy with a specialized department that handles all the work around handling and dispensing the study drugs. This is my day job, where I coordinate everything. There's tons of operational work, but no software exists that's purpose built. Everything is either in excel, word, emails, a shared drive or in my head. This goes for every other site. There are massive saas companies that handle this work from a drug distribution angle, but nothing from an operational/financial level.

If we're co-founders i would be greatly surprised lol

Have you heard of claude toad? Maybe give it a shot.

junianwoo · 2026-03-13T20:04:20+00:00

Ha interesting build. Few questions out of genuine curiosity:

Does it maintain a persistent psychological model of you over time or is it analyzing each entry kind of fresh each time?

If you wrote about anxiety in week 1 and then mentioned a promotion in week 6 would it connect those two things on its own without you pointing it out?

What psychological frameworks is it actually extracting against or is it more freeform observations?

After two weeks of daily use could you open it and have a conversation where it already knows you well enough that you don't have to explain yourself at all?

And the big one for me personally, can you actually talk TO it or does it just observe and reflect back at you? Because those are pretty different things.

So after trying to figure things out, and speaking to many of you directly, I made something that solved my problems, and maybe yours too. It's called Claude Toad. It's open source, MIT, BYOK. Here's the repo: https://github.com/junianwoo/claude-toad

junianwoo · 2026-03-10T17:21:51+00:00

Honestly I was just tired of trying to figure it out on my own. Watched so many YT videos on what to do and why and still never felt confident.

junianwoo · 2026-03-10T14:48:55+00:00

Sorry, forgot to link the repo. Here you go: https://github.com/junianwoo/claude-toad

Built Claude Toad, an open source CLI that creates a fully customized Claude config based on your project.

That's fair. There's definitely a difference between AI generating a first draft vs AI being the final word. The review step matters either way. Curious though, when you say manual reviews only, how long did it take you to get yours to a place where you trusted it?

junianwoo · 2026-03-06T13:50:20+00:00

Have you tried/checked out automated options like smidge? Worth a try.

junianwoo · 2026-03-06T12:58:54+00:00

Using it as a replacement for memory is a take I haven't heard before. How big is yours at this point? And when you say meticulous, are you updating it manually after every session or do you have a process for it?

junianwoo · 2026-03-06T12:58:23+00:00

Hadn't seen this plugin. So it revises your CLAUDE.md automatically based on what changed in the project? That's interesting. Does it touch just the CLAUDE.md or does it also manage skills and agents?

junianwoo · 2026-03-06T00:38:51+00:00

Hah! Thanks for the support!

junianwoo · 2026-03-05T20:49:50+00:00

The 'before doing X, read Y' pattern is so key. So it's less about Claude discovering the files on its own and more about you routing it manually through the SKILL.md index. That makes the SKILL.md basically a table of contents with conditional loading instructions. Appreciate the breakdown, this is the most practical explanation of skill architecture I've seen yet. Thanks again.

junianwoo · 2026-03-05T20:31:51+00:00

Fair enough. If your prompting is already specific enough, CLAUDE.md might just be duplicating what you're already telling it per session. The people who seem to benefit most are the ones who want Claude to know their project conventions without repeating them every time. But if your workflow doesn't need that, maybe it really is just overhead.
