> In Fiscal Year 2024/25, there were 222 booking records cancelled and removed f rom the Interior Health (IH) wait list due to the death of the patient while they waited f or their surgical date. There were 59 various types of procedures cancelled due to patient death; Cataracts had 86 (39%), followed by Arthroplasty Knee Replacements 17 (8%)
Also, for this particular regional health authority, only 38% of these wait time were above the target.
> 85 bookings (38%) had been waiting over the clinical benchmark wait time target for that surgery type at the date of patient death.
So yes, most of these death have nothing to do with excessive wait time of patient whose death would have been preventable with another system.
I agree about the bad side of slack culture, except when compared to how things were before slack: Horrible email threads, in-person meetings, phone calls, and people walking over to your desk to ask you stupid things they could have looked up themselves.
Slack revolutionized this for me because I can turn it off anytime I want. When I want focus, I close it and it cannot reach me for some time. Then I pull it up and read all the threads while taking a poop.
Having it in zed is the same: You can just log out of collab anytime you want! You would only use it if you _want_ to use it. When you do want to use it, it's incredible. Someone can just join your channel and work on a tricky problem with you and you don't even need to screen share. It's like the best of discord and slack available at the touch of a button. It's much lighter weight than slack. Slack huddles are super annoying to me. I want it to behave more like discord, and that's what zed does!
That's a good point. Email is much worse than slack.
But I still think it is impossible to manage all the things happening in slack. And the expectation is that it was said in slack, so you should know about it! Whereas, I definitely go through and review PRs and if there is a culture and management agreement around good PRs, then I can easily understand how things work, how things have changed, etc. I never get that from slack. And, I never got it from email either, fairly.
The topic of "expectation" is really interesting and worth discussing more. I refuse to accept the expectation of slack meaning I am literally always available to message, and also that I must read and keep track of everything in there. If somebody asks me about something and I suspect it might be in slack, I might do search for it to catch up on that topic if I am inclined. But obviously so many people feel the pressure you're describing (to know about everything said in slack)--- which sounds terrible!
My experience has been so different. Zed seems to always do the right thing for me when I concurrently edit files with other tools. Not doubting your experience or anything, but you must have a very different environment than me. Zed has been absolutely rock solid for the past year on my computer.
Zed is a really really nice editor. I consider the AI features secondary but they have been useful here and there. (I usually have them off.) You can use it like cursor if you want to.
Where I think it gets really interesting is they are adding features in it to compete with slack. Imagine a tight integration between slack huddles and VS code's collaborative editing. Since it's from scratch it's much nicer than both. I'm really excited about it.
I think that's a bit disingenuous. How is his brand built on chaos and controversy? I've watched some of his videos and he honestly seems like a really reasonable guy.
"chaos and controversy" might be a stretch but I see him solely as an 'influencer' rather than a programmer. Clickbait, reaction content; I remember the last video I watched of his was a C "code review", but based on what I watched, he doesn't know C. Lots of uninformed opinions appealing to people who don't really know what they're seeing.
