Does anyone else find themselves performing a UML-like design phase, but with code?

I like to create classes/methods with little/no/mock implementation to see how it will fit together. If there's something where I'm not sure how it works (third party API/lib I've not used before) I'll get more granular with it.

There's tooling to produce diagrams from code if someone really wants it. But either way my design phase is now usable code.

That being said, I still have to admit this rarely survives contact with actual implementation. It just feels better.

So we'll just all become #VanLife nomads and everything will be fine.

Challenge: turn it into a nice bot (as top comment has done) and then try go get it to go back to being evil.

Economists will ponder for decades why LLMs never increased labor productivity.

One of these days someone will try it. Spank them.

Agreed. Class III hardware is well controlled (i.e., implants), but software (any class) and lower-class hardware is loco. My device was Class II.

I'm a deep state employee of an as yet unacknowledged three letter agency whose propaganda blog received no traffic from this page until grandparent posted the link. I am a master strategist, playing chess in dimensions string theorists only dream of.

Didn't know gdocs had history, thanks for the pointer.

This occurred before the device was submitted for its first 510(k) approval.

Also, companies have some discretion in what changes they re-submit to the FDA and what the decide to just document internally. There are guidelines, like if you change the OS you better resubmit, but there is a wide swath of gray area. The FDA is not looking at every code/hardware change request. They audit your process.

Edit: typos

Yea it's a red flag when someone only verbally responds. A countermeasure is to send a nicely worded email summarizing the discussion and inviting any corrections. But unless someone could be seriously injured, I'd just find another job. Not worth it.

I don't believe I said the Chairman was from a different company. He was from the same company. He certainly could have had me fired, at the expense of destroying their schedule. As I stated at the outset, I left out details as to not identify the company (although there is enough here for a former colleague to put it together). Medical devices are a small world with often only 2 companies seriously competing per type.

Your due diligence data is largely correct and I complement your research. I repurposed this twitter account from one I created in 2017 and used as read-only in the intervening time. Also worth pointing out my HN account is quite new.

Wasn't great to cross the wires of my advocacy and technology, but I used the account I had. Didn't expect my twitter comment to be noticed.

I didn't promote my blog at all in this post, but since you mention it, if you read it more carefully I think you will find I take care to distinguish the Ukraine conflict from prior US interventions. Namely, one is a defense of a democracy which invited us whereas others (Iraq, Afghanistan) were not. US troops are not marching into Ukraine. It's even less direct support than the French provided the US revolutionary war.

I don't take issue with your questioning except - the presumption that someone is lying before they have even had a chance to respond to your information.
