The unhinged advantage

Bart was once called unhinged for turning a month-long, committee-gated request into a week of direct collaboration. A Commure memo calls the 'good or fast' choice a false dichotomy, and this month's evidence (a cardiologist's seven-day hackathon tool, 113 healthcare projects shipped in a 12-hour hackathon, a surgery professor's peer-reviewed week-long build) shows that speed with the discipline packed in is the unfair advantage, while committees mostly add the feeling of safety rather than rigour.

The prototype cliff

Vibe coding removed exactly one barrier to clinician-built software: the technical skill to build. The compliance, security and validation work that makes a demo deployable is unchanged and largely untaught, and it kills most weekend builds. A 60-second lane test shows which builds face the wall and which can be built freely, including the little-known EU in-house exemption.

You're already training your replacement

DoorDash pays gig workers to film themselves training AI replacements. Healthcare clinicians do the same thing invisibly every day. As a hospital CEO calls for replacing radiologists, BCG data shows AI will reshape 50-55% of jobs, not eliminate them. The real question is who controls the reshaping.

The invention layer

Healthcare AI has been stuck in automation mode, speeding up existing workflows. But the emergence of the "clinician developer", doctors building their own AI tools via vibe coding, signals a deeper shift. The invention layer, where domain experts create what was structurally impossible before, is where the real value lives.

Build Your N=1 Health Coach

Creating an app has become remarkably easy. I recently saw a demo where a company developed an app just by conversing with a system, which then produced a working app based on that conversation.
