Yeah! It's pretty amazing... let's just say I haven't been backing down yet. Just received a $300+ order of filament 😂
But it's paying for itself for sure... Because we're making products we're selling to our existing Xchart.com customers. And we've already proven there's demand.
AI can even dig the pit for you!
Bought a Bambu Lab H2C for a project for Xchart.
Wow.
It's been a long time since I've been so impressed with a piece of technology 🤯
...also a surprising effect of that book was that Popper talked me out of wanting to read Hegel 😂
Popper's take on Plato in that book was super interesting to me.
I had never heard someone be so critical of Plato!
By the way, I meant to ask you the same thing. What's your preferred stack? 😁
That sounded a bit snarky, but wasn't meant to be...
The WebSerial API has been transformative for us. Would be great to see it in more browsers ❤️
I was too busy building a company that uses the WebSerial API to chart patient vitals during ~1000 surgeries per day.
All using Chromium based browsers, because FF isn't an option for that...
😅

You're missing the WebSerial API 😁
I went to go vote for it, but didn't see it.
Overall it has worked well for what we need it to do.
We've layered on a lot of complex features over the years and it still feels manageable.
This gave me a good laugh.
It's so very true 😂
We don't use any graphQL client side libs, just fetch with some small helpers for generating the strings for queries and mutations.
But to answer your question the core of that app is a very complex client-side app that needs to maintain a lot of inter-dependent state.
It's built entirely as a static site with Preact and redux-bundler (so the core toolset there is tiny).
Server side it's node with vanilla graphQL.
I feel the same about your work! Always impressed when I see something you did.
I stopped consulting, not doing much open source, but I'm building and maintaining a product over a long period (xchart.com).
Which means I'm not jumping around to different tech stacks.
A Chinese made electric car is now the fastest production car in the world.
I'm baffled anyone thinks gas cars have a future.

I tried to talk Walmart out of Next when they were planning a big rewrite...
Majority won, I lost. I wasn't much of a team player either, it seems 😅
Good stuff Jake! Great to see you at it again and helping Firefox along 👍
I've been texting Holly a list of 5 things I'm grateful for nearly every day for about a year now.
It's been really helpful for me and encouraging for her.
Helps me focus on more of the good stuff instead of everything that's wrong (which is my default).
Also... family, running a lot, reading a ton (about stoicism, health, philosophy), I built sauna and just been trying to get outdoors and keep my mind clear of all the nonsense I can't control.
Providing affordable software in this space helps keep procedure costs in check.
We're over the hump of "will this work" and have been seeing steady growth for years now. Still super excited about where this is headed.
Anyway, that's why I haven't been to tech events, etc.
Too busy building 😅
It's hard, unglamerous work. But seeing how we can genuinely improve safety for patients has been super rewarding.
Giving healthcare providers the right info at the right time can help mitigate potentially dangerous errors.
Been working full time on it for 3+ years now.
It pays the bills, I get to work with some great people, and we feel like we're just getting started.
Hospitals have massive costs and limited operating room capacity. So being able to provide these types of procedures without all that overhead cost is important.
Finding good software in the space is challenging. That's what we've been doing with Xchart. It started as a hobby project.
Turns out doing anesthesia in non-hospital settings is widespread and increases access to affordable care.
Think wisdom teeth, colonoscopy, plastics, dental implants, LASIK...
But, being able to do this stuff safely and documenting it as required is challenging outside of hospital settings.
If you know me from before and wonder what I've been doing...
I wanted to do something that felt more meaningful than consulting big companies.
A dentist friend and I bootstrapped a startup for charting sedation / anesthesia procedures.
I know I'm late to the party, had a bit of social media blackout.
I've been quite busy building a company, and loving it.
This does kinda remind me of old Twitter though and there are some great people on here. ❤️
