Couldn't finish it either. I thought that maybe there would have been commentary after a few of the tweets, but the format is bad.
I did see a few good points (Fullstack helps you understand legacy practices and why things were the way they had been..), but a lot was definitely lost in all the noise.
Yeah F this, I'm not going to bother reading this if they can't bother composing it in a coherent way. Whatever it is, certainly isn't important enough for me to bother.
I don't know why people do this. I guess it gives off the feeling of it being very important like they are rushed and HAVE TO TELL YOU THIS RIGHT NOW.
But it's not shareable unless you're going to retweet 40+ tweets (are people doing this?). You have to wait for someone else to collect your thoughts for you.
And at the same time it isn't as permanent as actually taking the time to write a blog post so it's easy to retract later.
I might be the only one thinking this wasn't a painful but kind of novel/artistic presentation. But onto the substance: no industry needs more of a full stack startup than US hospitals and the healthcare industry. There are some that have started, but piecemeal solutions are excruciatingly difficult to develop and sell effectively.
Got about halfway through before I realized this guy is using Twitter to write what should be a blog post. While I'm sure his message is solid, I'm not sure how much I respect someone's tech advice when they don't seem to understand the technology they're using in the first place.
I enjoy ideas. Here are the ones from the tweet storm:
• Full stack law firm: template all contracts, law APIs as core, hyperdeflate legal costs.
• Full stack clinic: mobile EMR/EHR, qself, genomics, telemed. Employ MDs w/ tech skills. Accept insurance, prefer cash subscriptions.
• Full stack architect: put @vannevartech APIs at core of new construction co. Start with unmanned buildings like datacenters to derisk. Ultimate goal = hit enter to build a building w/ drones + prefab.
• Full stack accounting firm: Given bank account, auto prepare it all: tax to diligence to S-1 w/ legal sign off. (@xero could do this).
• Full stack restaurant: Mobile order/pay/reserve, A/B tested dynamic menus w/ supply chain integration, robot prep.
This is possibly the worst presentation format in a field crowded with worthy contenders. I particularly like the Knight Rider-like green thing that just goes back and forth across the top of the browser.
What a ridiculous format to publish an article in. If you can't be bothered to format your stream of thoughts into proper sentences and paragraphs, I don't think there's much value in me reading it.
1/I'm sorry I couldn't finish it,
2/let alone refresh enough times to get all the content to load without error.
3/Disseminating that much continuous information in that format is atrocious.
4/I'll post a lot of stuff, but it will be so spread out that you won't know
5/If I made any good points or not
6/But the sheer barrage of noise will convince you I know what I am talking about
7/???
8/Profit!
