Newest employee started today. I spent almost zero time with her, but she interviewed well last week, and everyone seemed happy as far as first days go, so I remain hopeful.

For me, today was all about rolling out our new platform for documenting patient visits.

All the piecemeal work I've done for the last two years, learning Swift and writing helper apps for the docter and staff to speed up and improve the quality of data capture, have been brought together into a unified program with enough headroom for the next two years of planned evolution (which means I'll likely have to rewrite it all in six months).

I spent a fairly anxious Sunday squashing last minute bugs, but I was shocked by how painless it was going live today. There was only one minor missing feature, which I've already added, and a couple of cosmetic requests I'll take care of towmorrow.

Still have a long way to go as a programmer, but today was a milestone in that journey, as well as a significant step forward for the clinic.
