Corner Health (https://cornerhealth.com) | Full-Stack Engineer | Onsite, Full-time, Santa Monica, CA

We're a seed-stage healthcare tech startup on a mission to empower Nurse Practitioners to establish and run their own primary care practices. To do so, we're building a suite of software that eliminates administrative burden with modern tech and AI, allowing NPs to focus on patient care. We use TypeScript, Node.js, React, and GraphQL.

We're hiring our second engineer to work alongside our founding engineer and co-founders. You'll integrate multiple external systems (payment processing, insurance eligibility, etc.), build internal tools accelerated by AI, and have real ownership over core parts of the product. Most important characteristics are high agency, pragmatism, and curiosity. You should be comfortable moving fast while setting up systems that can scale.

We've raised $7.5M from First Round Capital, Homebrew, and founders of DoorDash, Clover Health, and more. We're expanding to 3 states this year, have a waitlist of NPs interested in joining our platform, and are the fastest growing primary care network in Arizona.

If interested, please complete this form: https://imt1034gmfe.typeform.com/to/TiH3bhhL

I love that you've got something like, "upgrade to Linux" in your calendar :)

However, I recommend at least testing it on your hardware before that date. Put Ventoy on a USB drive and play with some live distros. Just to make sure everything works the way you expect.

You never know, you may have that one piece of hardware that doesn't work :shrug:

I think all the retail LLM's are working to broaden the available context, but in most practical use-cases it's having the ability to minimize and filter the context that would produce the most value. Even a single PDF with too many similar datapoints leads to confusion in output. They need to switch gears from the high growth, "every thing is possible and available" narrative, to one that narrows the scope. The "hallucination" gap is widening with more context, not shrinking.

All advantage accrues to hyperscaler "managed" versions. That's so much more fucked than a rug pull.

Amazon gets to make millions off of the thing you built.

"Equitable source" licenses with MAU / ARR limits, hyperscaler resale limits, and AGPL-like "entire stack must be open" clauses is the way to go. It's a "fuck you" to Amazon, Google, and Microsoft in particular and leaves you untouched.

Open source today is hyperscaler serfdom. Very few orgs are running Redis on bare metal, and a equitable source license can be made to always support the bare metal case.

Absolutely yes! I prototyped a hopper peripheral that doubled as marble storage. It hooked into the gear grid and used the rotation to drive a helical lift to carry the marbles up to the surface, where they'd enter the edge of an adjacent disk. I ended up setting it aside for 2 reasons: 1) Lack of time -- sad to say but I had to focus on getting the roons core ready. Too much to do! 2) The HDD peripheral -- this is a WIP that compactly stores and emits bitstreams. The way it's designed, it can be set to "reservoir" mode, which emits the continuous marble bitstream like you suggest. I figured it'd be redundant to have both a hopper and HDD, so I scrapped the hopper for now.

> presumably copilot will help introduce better code into applications than a daydreaming developer would

Copilot is trained on Github (and probably other Git forges w/o permission, because OpenAI and Microsoft are run by greedy sociopaths.)

I'd wager that the majority of fleshed out repositories on these sites contain projects written at the "too-high level" you describe. This certainly seems to be true based on how these models perform ("good" results for web development and scripting, awful results for C/++/Rust/assembly...) - so I wouldn't get your hopes up, unfortunately.

The OP isn't talking about iPhone devs, they're talking about a decade before that when Apple was called 'Apple Computer' and had mad a series of bad business choices (confusing product line up, allowing other companies to make Mac clones, etc).

Developers had started to abandon the Mac OS platform - or at least start making Windows versions of previously Mac-only software - and getting developer confidence back was one of the key things that kept the company alive to grow into the consumer electronics manufacturer that it is today.

Microsoft has a habit of "fake" open source. Particularly on Github.

By "fake", I mean Microsoft largely treats their Open Source codebases like they are closed-source, in-house proprietary codebases that they happen to let members of the public look at.

They'll accept a PR once in a while, but mostly it appears Issues and PR's are used as a free alternative to UserVoice.

Every decision is made behind closed doors (probably a MS Teams call actually), and you'll notice how top-heavy their staff is on these projects (half a dozen employees with "Manager" in their title on any given repo).

Beggars can't be choosers, and I'm glad they are dipping their toes into the FOSS water... but I don't really get FOSS vibes from their projects on Github.

Very impressive, it doesn't need to be as good as the pay for token models. For example I've probably spent at least $300 last month on vibe coding, a big part of this is I want to know what tools I'm going to end up competing with, and another is I got a working implementation of one of my side projects, and then I decided I wanted it to be rewritten in another programming language.

Even if I chill out a bit here, a refurbished Nvidia laptop would pay for itself within a year. I am a bit disappointed Ollama can't handle the full flow yet, IE it could be a single command.

It's literally not whataboutism.

Whataboutism is when you bring up something about person A, then the only argument against it is something relating to person B.

For example, when you point out the call the president made to the secretary of state in Georgia begging him to "find" 11,780 votes. Then, without a great excuse, the other person brings up Biden's mental decline.

Both true, both concerning, but the reply just being blatant and desperate misdirection.

Just tried Qwen 3 32B 4bit and 8bit GGUF via Ollama today on RunPod A40 GPUs. For general knowledge questions the results were very underwhelming. Here are answers to 3 questions I asked to the 8 bit GGUF model (skipping the thinking tokens to keep it short):

Q: who won the cricket worldcup 2023?

A: The *2023 ICC Cricket World Cup* was won by *Australia*. They defeated *New Zealand* in the final on *November 19, 2023*, at the *M. A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, India*.

### Key Details: - *Final Score*: Australia scored *334/5* in their 50 overs, while New Zealand reached *199/8* in their chase. - *Man of the Match*: Pat Cummins (Australia) with 5 wickets for 34 runs. - *Tournament Host*: India. - *Notable Performance*: Australia's aggressive batting and disciplined bowling sealed the victory, marking their *sixth Cricket World Cup title* (tying them with West Indies for the most titles).

This was the 13th edition of the ICC Cricket World Cup (50-over format). The T20 World Cup is a separate tournament, with India winning the 2024 edition. Let me know if you need further details!

I honestly think the "middle class" idea is just a fallacy. It feels like it's used by people to distance themselves from "working class" because they feel that working class is somehow beneath them. All of the middle class in todays parlance are just slightly more affluent working class. If you sell your time for money you are working class. If you make money from having money you are bourgeoisie.

If you have to think about which one you are you are working class. At a stretch you might consider the owner of a small tech company (say 5-10 employees) as petit bourgeoisie but the vast majority of small business owners (say mechanics, shop owners, small companies) are squarely in the working class. They may have employees but they still work, either for wages or as managers of those employees - which is work.

I find earned income tax is never justifiable. Working should never cost you money. Marginal land value tax rates do make sense though (and marginal sales tax rates, but that’s harder to implement).

The current situation of low land value tax rates and high earned income tax rates leads to two old people living in excessively large lots while two young working people give up goals of having kids because they don’t want to raise them in a 1,000 square foot rental they don’t consider stable enough.

Most any switch that supports 10GBase-T will only auto-negotiate down to 100Base-T, and some of them will only go as slow as 1GBase-T.

10Base-T was an upgrade over 10Base-2 and 10Base-5 (AUI), but the latter were more popular in the early 80's.

80% of our recruiter's time is spent trying to figure out which candidates are real and which are fake.

It's really, really bad. We post a role, get 500 applicants, and nearly all of them are not legitimate. They all look amazing, really great resume, impressive LinkedIn, etc... but when you dig a little deeper, it's not that hard to find a bunch of red flags (LinkedIn profile create < 3 months ago, VOIP number, using VPN to submit job application, etc). You really have to know what signs to look for. They're very convincing fakes.

We're extremely vigilant about this issue as a company, yet we've had people get through 2 or 3 rounds before someone realized something was off (some people are really, really good at faking it).

I feel bad for small companies trying to hire. For us, it got to the point where we literally couldn't open a role unless we had a full time recruiter to sift through all the international candidates pretending to live in the US.

Edit: We've been dealing with this for a couple years now, and there still isn't a great solution. Unfortunately the only surefire "solutions" we can think of are also things that would make the interview process less enjoyable for real candidates, which sucks. (One idea was to ask candidates to show us photo ID during the video interview, but something about making a candidate do that just doesn't feel good - although we have tried it, and it has effectively stopped a few fake people from getting through)

Had been planning a custom mcp for our orgs’ jira.

I’m a bit skeptical that it’s gonna work out of the box because of the amount of custom fields that seem to be involved to make successful API requests in our case.

But I would welcome, not having to solve this problem. Jira’s interface is among the worst of all the ticket tracking applications I have encountered.

But, I have found using a LM conversation paired within enough context about what is involved for successful POSTs against the API allow me to create update and relate issues via curl.

It’s begging for a chat based LLM solution like this. I’d just prefer the underlying model not be locked to a vendor.

Atlassian should be solving this for its customers.

It's really a PITA to use standard protocols on M365 now though. They try to make it as difficult as possible. And you need lots of exceptions from your admins. Everything is "legacy", the Microsoft word for Not Invented Here and they make it sound like something super dangerous.

Of course that third party clients don't give them any telemetry, "insights", cross-marketing opportunities like copilot, has nothing to do with it.

First, thank you for taking time to respond. I really appreciate it.

> You pushed through a math refresh and excelled in a technical institute towards the goal of working in software. Also, getting a Masters degree is no joke - that's a lot of effort and likely takes getting accepted to two programs, pushing through all the work required, possibly doing presentations, etc.

Thank you for the kind words. This is encouraging. It did take a lot of time and effort, and I'm proud of what I accomplished. I do hope this comes across to potential employers.

> Maybe volunteer at a non-profit that interests you personally and see if they have IT or software related things they need help with.

This is helpful advice. My favourite job was at the non-profit -- the work was meaningful and the people were great. My dream role would be to work for a non-profit, one ideally geared toward environment / ocean / clean energy causes, so I'll look at opportunities here.

> Also learn to use AI in your coding efforts.

I've definitely been taking advantage of this. I use Perplexity and Claude (paid), and they've proven to be valuable learning tools. I focus on using them as tutors, to help explain ideas and concepts, and resist using them to do the work for me.

This actually brings up another, somewhat related question. I graduated with someone who uses AI tools to do almost all his coding. He's created some really cool projects, but I'm not sure if he fully understands what he's made. Still, he's putting in the time and effort to create something, and I respect that.

I'm trying to limit how much AI does for me, but that means I work slower and have fewer projects. I'm not sure how to walk this line -- AI can certainly help to build things more quickly, but I also know, especially for juniors who don't know what they don't know, that this can lead to bad habits and gaps in knowledge. To what extent do I use AI? I'm still figuring that out...

My company is relatively small. With probably 6 separate redis instances deployed in various places (k8s, bare metal, staging and prod environments) and dozens of (micro)services using them it's probably at least 40 hours (one person-week) to migrate everything at this point. Also there are things like documentation, legacy apps that keep working but nobody wants to spend time updating them, naming problems everywhere (renaming "redis" everywhere with zero downtime would be a huge pain), outdated documentation, possibly updates in CI, CD, and e2e tests, and probably more problems that ight become apparent in scale.

And we're honestly not large. For a mid size company, hundreds hours sound reasonable. For a big company the amount of work must be truly staggering.

The helo route was likely instituted decades ago when traffic was lower. The NTSB incident database search turned up a close call between rotary and fixed wing just about every month in the last several years. This was a accident waiting to happen.

This is not by any means the only midair collision where a crew was avoiding a different aircraft.

I'm with others: This is a silly anecdote from Crowdstrike of all companies. If I was asked how fat Kim Jong Un was, I would probably wait for some kind of "I'm kidding," and hang up if I didn't get it.

I don't believe they are earnestly identifying spies, even if they believe it. Not that they need spies to hack our system anyway, they managed to bring half the country to a halt by themselves.

> try going to https://www.nih.gov/ and putting gender in the search box

Compared to their other actions of censorship, this is such a small thing, but for some reason this in particular makes me distressed. Possibly because it shows how paranoid they are about letting out any information that goes against their narrative; that they're willing to do stupid, reckless things to control the narrative; that they enforce obedience to their ideology at all levels. It just seems like the entrance to a dark future.

It feels like they're trying to rewrite history... Which is a term I searched the Internet for, and funnily enough the first result was a blog post from the current White House administration. https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/03/rest... (My other worry is that everything they accuse of others is a projection of their own intentions onto others. This seems less absurd every passing day. Otherwise this would be laughable.) So I guess the White House is explicit in they they're rewriting history to the True history. Thank you so much. Finally, we can be united under ONE Nation, ONE Truth, and ONE God. Sorry, I got a bit over-excited there.

For time travelers: searching for "gender" just directs you back to nih.gov, instead of directing you to the search results page.

you are hardly steel-manning something with a comment like that

If you look at minimum wage purchasing power over time, it peaked in about 1970, with about $15-equivalent 2025 dollars.

That tracks fairly closely with purchasing power having declined 68% since the last time minimum wages were updated.

Should probably tie it to inflation while we're in there

> Why the hell are all my desktop apps written in JS now?!

Have you seen the state of pretty much every non-js UX framework?

That's why.

JS/css/html won the UX domain in a way that no other language comes close to. If you look at the most recent most modern UX frameworks, they are often just half implemented poor mimics of the js/css/html stack with approximately 0 devs writing new 3rd party extensions.

Intellij uses swing, SWING, as it's UX. A framework written in the 90s filled with warts. Yet, it's still a better experience than the more recent JavaFX experience. Swing simply has more support.

I can't agree more. Fedora is such an excellent piece of kit, and with the now edition-tier KDE variant, you have the most premium Linux desktop out there that has a fresh-enough update schedule and is rock-solid stable.

I even migrated from Arch to Fedora, just because I was getting tired of the occasional rolling update bricking my system.

>> It's all about stuffing as many features in as quickly as we can...

The problem isn't "engineering" the problem is the culture of product management. (Note: NOT product managers per se).

I ask this basic question, how many Directors, VP's or CPO's do you know who got their job based on "cutting out unused features"? If you can find one, it will end up being the exception that proves the rule. The culture of "add", "new" and "shiny" doesn't reward keeping things lean and effective. T

In the tangible world we look to accountants for this sort of thing (because they tend to have costs). Think cheap Costco hotdogs and free cookies at Double Tree. No one in product, dev and accounting is going to sit down and try to justify loosing some code, features and maybe a few customers to make it faster when you can just "engineer" you way out of it and not have to sell less is more.
