  • Critics of social healthcare often talk about wait times for care and to see specialists. In the US, my partner with a chronic condition waits weeks to months for specialists to diagnose worsening symptoms and often gets no answers. Our healthcare system isn’t better. It’s actually quite terrible. posted 4 months ago - reply

  • My website has been slow as shit. My DB, along with many of its definitions are literally 20 years old, so I revisited it. 95% of the issue was poorly defined indexes and a couple bad query patterns that haven't scaled with my data.
