My gripe with Teams or Slack is the awful electron app. 100% CPU. Drains my laptop battery on a 4-Core i7 fans full speed. To send text messages.

I run three different electron apps essentially constantly and don't have that problem.

also adding that we've integrated a chat app into our workflow and it's so good. It's great having a platform for one line questions that want one line answers or for open forums on things. Chat apps aren't going anywhere.

Job chat: I've been offered a roll with a local hospital group. Good bump in pay, benefits, close to my old job (~5min commute change). The real concern to me is jumping from a rather laid back company to healthcare.I'd be trading a office and jeans/tshirt for cubicles and business casual. The upside is: amazing team members and boss. I'm meeting with them again today to discuss the role, team, and overall fit. Any gotcha's specific to healthcare I should watch out for?

It moves slow as gently caress. If you like that, great. They are always behind in technology and honestly are probably the last adopters of it. Its steady and predictable though which some people really like.

I’m seriously considering taking FMLA for a month or so. Get to the doctors more than I can now (pretty much out of PTO), have more time to study and job hunt, while still having health insurance. Is that a terrible idea? My mental health has been going way downhill, but I hate the idea of burning through what little savings I have. On the other hand, if I’m not mood swinging like crazy all the time I can be more productive.

I sympathize because I went through a similar thought process at my last job. You really need to double check and make sure that FMLA covers the mental issues that you're having. At least here where I live there's only a few medical issues that qualify and even then the max coverage is 60% of your base pay. How aggressive are you being in your job hunt? I'm kind of reading in between the lines but I'm getting the impression that you mental health issues are a result of your current job, correct? Personally I would just redouble your efforts to get into another job and avoid taking a financial hit if at all possible. I know it's tough, but if you have good leads try and stick it out until you get a better offer.

What would you be doing for the hospital? There are vastly different pitfalls for each type of role that you should be aware of. Anything answering phones will see you getting chewed out and spoken down to by doctors, which can be demoralizing unless you have that precious switch in your head that stops caring instantly. System and network support involves a lot of on-call and after hours work, as anything even remotely impacting the environment is too high risk for a business hours change. God forbid the thing you know most about breaks at 11 pm, as you'll be working a 24 hour shift to resolve root cause before shareholders catch wind of what happened. This can be fine if you don't have a family and can have fun with goofy comp hours now and then. Management is the end of work life balance as you know it. Everything is more important than you, so get to it immediately and forever. If you love working more than breathing, you'll love it.

I've had the mental issues for well over half my life now and I get enough treatment for it already that it qualifies. My mental health problems are being made significantly worse by the job. I'm going to try to get to a GP as soon as possible to get checked out and see if there's anything physical making it worse. I'm trying to get into Linux stuff now but I have barely any Linux experience, so it's going to be tough. Unless I go for something for a short term, keep looking, and say it just wasn't a good fit.

I felt pretty dumb when I had to learn about windows 10 snipping tool from this thread, which I now use all the time, but I also learned today that xbox app has a built in recording tool on the game bar you can pull up with Win+G you can use with pretty much anything as long as you pinky swear to windows your recording a game (and not some copyrighted content). I spent some downtime today capturing random American Dad clips and sending over messenger.

It really depends on where in healthcare you are talking. If it is actual medical care/hospitals it is miserable and extremely stressful. Chances are you will also be supporting outdated equipment and software that is cobbled together on a shoestring budget. If you are doing any direct communications with users prepare to deal with some of the largest egos you have ever seen because as every one knows doctors are assholes. You may also get calls for support that are literally a matter of life or death. When I was on the help desk I ended up getting a call where a doctor had a patient open on the table and the Medical Imaging software crashed so they could no longer see the patient's images for the surgery they were performing. We didn't get those calls all the time but when we did it was terrifying.

My general impression of healthcare IT is that there's Kaiser, and then there's seven varieties of hell. This is backed up by some Bay Area job satisfaction surveys and one guy I know who contracted at Kaiser for about a year. Plus, y'know, reading these threads. A good team fit however, is almost as valuable as cash money, possibly more so if you're in a growing stage of your career.

Thanks for the feedback. I would be the lead storage engineer which is right up my alley. It's a local hospital group, non profit, 8 sites + 70 ish branch. Very good team fit, skills fit, career path/growth opportunities, great benefits, some kind of pension, WFH, flex schedule. Without a doubt there will be moments where everything breaks and I will have to be on call. I had a great talk with the team lead/manager today and if everything works out I'm planning on joining them in September. Taking a few weeks off between roles (which they understand/support) to unwind and reset. My mental health has been diminishing with the current gig and I need a change, it may move slower- but I'm ok with that until I figure out what direction I want to go. *Related- I ended up in another hospital chain last week due to dehydration (stupid me) and in making small talk, the nurse mentioned how nice the group I'm looking at are to work for. A friends sister who is a nurse repeated the same thing tonight. Another car-friends wife just retired after 18 years there and loved it. If it were any other group, I wouldn't be thinking about it.

Healthcare sounds a lot like working in prison (which I do to explain why that's relevant, heh...) 24/7 operation, sometimes you just have to go do stuff before someone does something life threatening. Quite slow and a lot of red tape. Plus the officer types all think they are some kind of higher being than you. I love it but it's not for everyone. You have to be able to not care about all that stuff and then it's just normal IT after that.

Bingo. Especially given we are in seafood so the idea that some of stuff we import from places like Vietnam or Colombia are going to look at the blockchain anytime soon is

Proteus Jones posted:I'll admit I'm not really conversant with supply side stuff, so I'll defer to those more knowledgeable. Basically what you're trying to do with traceability is track "x goes into y" at every stage of the process so that if your finished good has a defect, you can trace back down to see which raw materials were in the FG. For example, if there was a defect in a plastic part, you could go back and say "oh okay, these were made with this particular lot of resin, so we need to quarantine all parts that were made with it". The other part of this is that you are giving your customers the information to facilitate their traceability process as well. In theory, if your car has a part that has failed, the car company should be able to trace that back to the raw material supplier in China if needed. In terms of the supply side of things, you might go to your raw material vendor and say "we need these three pieces of information in this barcode format" because you'll be scanning that into whatever traceability system you have at your facility. Or you could be back in the 1980s and simply write everything down, but this is not a very good way to handle things in the face of current technology. Blockchain doesn't make any sense in the above example because the system would essentially have to be implemented across every step of the supply chain. Can you reasonably expect 8 different companies to adopt the exact same system? Blockchain also assumes that companies have zero trust in each other and therefore needs the transactions to be held in a neutral ledger. This simply doesn't reflect how business is conducted in the real world. Now you could argue that there's nothing preventing a supplier from faking or changing traceability data, but if this happens and they are caught, they will lose business and be fined.
