Exactly where I’m at as well. Maybe I’ll move to Arch proper down the line, but I see no real advantage with that, for me anyway.

When I was a biomed, I used to handle setup for audio/video in the OR for conferences and education and that sort of thing. It was always sound that was the hardest to get working and sounding good. Video was seldom the problem. You would think that sound is old tech and should therefore be easier, but noo. Well, the face masks on the surgeons didn’t help either.

Good to hear. Keep it up!

As a hobby it’s probably fine. You shouldn’t let it consume you or it will turn you into Gollum and you will likely self-immolate when touched by the evil rays from the great fire in the sky.

I pretty much had to. Burned out completely. Took years to even think about working again. But enough about me, what’s up with you these days? :D

Right, your question. First BioMed at a hospital and then tech service for analytics and automation. See my answers elswere in the thread as well.

I see what you mean. I can enjoy making smaller scripts and programs to run some electronics projects but going back as a full time Dev would totally suck the fun out of it. And besides, my skills are seriously out-of-date anyway, not to mention 90% forgotten.

Using Jerboa to post this and I have definitely made editors that had similar quirks in the past.

I saw a documentary of a dude who moved to Alaska and built a hut and lived there for basically the rest of his life. Think he moved up there in like 1930-50 or something. He filmed his life as well. But not everyone will have the skills to do something like that. Inspiring stuff though.

Edit: don’t try and find it, though. It is too powerful for mere mortals.

Coming from a job where dev work feels like vacation. Sheesh. Good on you, man.

Edit: if you are a man. Shouldn’t assume really.

No, you don’t actually have to be a biomed to work as one in Sweden. I have engineering background and I guess I’m pretty technical overall. I actually didn’t know there were biomeds at hospitals. I got sort of a test employment through a government program and they liked me so I got to stay.

Yeah. Don’t burn yourself out on the job. No one will thank you for it. It can be hard, I still have problems saying no. Go figure.

Those were definitely on the list. As was moving to a hut in the woods and living of the land. :)

First biomedical engineer at a hospital and now tech service for medical diagnostics and automation.

Good one. Made me smile and being thankful for not being a programmer anymore.
