I've been doing regulatory tweet throughs of CMS and ASTP (formerly ONC) rules for years. Today, I'm doing the same for the CMS RFI on the Health Technology Ecosystem (see www.federalregister.gov/documents/20...) but on BlueSky first. The hashtag for this will be #CMSRFI.

Today I got to use an Apple Vision Pro for like 30 minutes, and I came away with two, immediate thoughts right in a row:

1.)
“This is, without doubt, one of the most stunning new technologies I’ve ever used. Absolutely extraordinary.”

2.)
“I have absolutely zero uses for this in my work or life”

One difference between a senior developer and others is in understanding the distinction between "I don't know how to accomplish this.", and "It cannot be done."

Every year I ask my children to make me a playlist for Christmas of songs they think I’ll like. This year I’m asking them to give me playlists of songs they like. These lists are always better than my Spotify wrapped because they are basically the same thing, just a year early.
