I'm a total doofus with no relevant experience and neither could I.

Somebody used this paper to make the term batfished, which they defined as being fooled into ascribing subjectivity to a non-sentient actor (i.e. an AI).

Relevant Healthcare | Lead and Senior Software Engineers | Remote (US) / NYC | Full-time

Relevant builds a data platform that helps safety-net healthcare providers deliver better care using data in their electronic health records. Our customers are non-profit clinics called Community Health Centers. You can read more about them, us, and the roles on our jobs page: https://relevant.healthcare/jobs/

We're a small team (16 overall with two technical co-founders). We're bootstrapped (no external capital whatsoever, VC or otherwise) and profitable. We've got a modern tech stack (Rails, Typescript, React, GraphQL, d3) and a healthy approach to both tech debt and work/life balance… and we’re also a very nice group of people that get to work on interesting problems for some of the few unimpeachably good actors in healthcare!

As a total Observable/Bostock stan who works with HIPAA protected data, I love this.

mistidoi — Fri, 20 Nov 2020 19:48:18 +0000

I kind of thought that too, but somewhere around the start of the pandemic, I was able to quickly develop an interactive dataviz on Observable (https://observablehq.com/@mistidoi/coronavirus-tests-positiv...) and drop it into a blog post trivially (https://relevant.healthcare/blog/2020-04-02-covid-state-visu...). Beyond the work on the viz itself, it took something like 15 minutes to get it into the blog post, and it's more or less seamless.

Confession though, I might have been powered by Mike Bostock fanboy juice. d3 is part of what made me fall in love with programming.
