Software engineers could spread out into new areas and find new things to do. Unless I am mistaken, the work of radiologists is more defined.

- lostlogin 1y ago> Software engineers could spread This is key. Radiologists that can program (or software engineers that do medicine) make a massive difference. When someone explains what they want and it’s built for them, you get a very different product to that built by the user. I want more radiologists that can write software please.
- seesthruya 1y agoI'm a radiologist that can program! I've authored and contributed to several open source projects over the years, and I'm currently doing a deep dive in CAD/CAM after buying a CNC machine. I help my practice where I can, and have written a little utility to make generating reports easier, but I would have to quit my job if I was trying to take on the absolutely enormous task of radiology computer aides diagnosis. And I need my job!
- lostlogin 1y ago> I would have to quit my job if I was trying to take on the absolutely enormous task of radiology computer aides diagnosis I think about this sort of thing every so often. The difference one person can make by creating a decent piece of software might be one of the best ways of getting a return on investment (in human hours, if not in money).
