Doctors are sometimes like developers, when they don't find the root cause of an issue they blame it on the network or the OS
- treeman79 6y agoI read medical reports periodically. It is insanely hard.
- JackFr 6y agoIf the process has been working for years and you just had a release and now it's crashing, you're gonna blame the release. (But to continue the analogy, a reason to be scrutinize this paper is, because the process has been working fine for years no one has looked at the logs in an age, and when they do, oh my .... there are many things going wrong might not related to the release at all.)
- briffle 6y agoThis makes me curious.. As a sysadmin, the firewall is almost always blamed (or some imaginary change in the "system"). But often, simple things like DNS are the actual cause. I wonder what the equivalent most common blame and actual cause are in the medical world.
- epmaybe 6y agoI think it depends on what field you're in within medicine. I think I would be willing to bet strokes would be high up on that list. There's a lot of neurologic conditions that strokes can mimic depending on severity. One that gets missed a lot of the time is vision related strokes (like a central retinal artery occlusion or a branch retinal artery occlusion), since a lot of doctors aren't super confident in their ophthalmology training. Or mimickers like migraines.

- Natsu 6y agoIt's usually the damned load balancer, though. A firewall is easy enough to test with pings, telnets, etc. but the LB rarely seems to make much sense and it seems like there's only one guy who knows how it works and they never explain what they changed.

- SomeoneFromCA 6y agoI sometimes blame the compiler. Having said this, I do occasionally find bugs ib g++ and clang (most often, it does not behave like it should - copy g++ behavior).
- puranjay 6y agoAnd when they don't know what to do, they just prescribe steroids (which usually work). I wonder what the developer equivalent of steroids would be.
