I recently had an opportunity to learn something about software used in hospitals and it was a shock. Are you laughing about the JS or web developer meme as a symbol for clueless people? Well, I need to tell you that every JS or web dev is a code guru compared to the guys I have seen in medical / hospital software.
While your web dev has a very good idea about infrastructure and code maintenance these guys are usually clueless about CI, git, secrets management etc. but still they now all want to migrate their stuff to azure, because it’s cool… to say the truth I didn’t understand the reason why they want to. People that are basically relying on Microsoft wizard based development.
Shocking was that this was not only some bureaucracy software, but systems that are used for actual operations and patient management.
I guess that many people died already because windows developers but nobody did a systematic investigation so we don’t know.
