This post has some special meaning to me. I work as a developer at a cancer hospital. The work I do directly helps clinical trials. I handle everything from trial conception to actual patient accruals and the resulting deluge of data.

Every little bit of tech I get to use which has a net positive affect on my efficiency reduces the time of my deliverables/milestones. My team and I develop the tools/software/data which the doctors/nurses/practitioners rely on to provide care, solve interesting medical puzzles, etc. It is a race against the clock. I get the privilege of writing code that has the potential to help cure cancer.

I switched from TextMate to Sublime Text 2 recently. I've been monitoring Light Table and ST3 as of late. Keep up the good work.

i think your kind of testimony is really the best a developer could hope to read. We all know that in a somewhat indirect way, we are helping someone somewhere with our work, but it must feel really good to hear one say it out loud from time to time.

PS : I'm not even building an IDE, so that makes me even further away from helping anyone help someone.
