Personal Note:

I've been with this company for almost 7 years and know many people here going on their, 3rd, 4th and 5th year anniversaries. It's the first place I've felt at home to work on stuff I love and continue to excel at my craft.

I’m also extremely proud of our founding team. Jeff Tangney is a second time founder. Our co-founders Nate Gross & Shari Buck have great experience and foresight in the medical industry. Just today, Huffington Post featured Shari Buck on being a female co-founder and the lessons she’s learned while building Doximity: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/5-things-i-wish-someone-...

I'm more than happy to have a personal chat with anyone about the company or any interested role, connect with me on LinkedIn and let me know it's via this post: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeybalachandran

Ruby on Rails engineers, preferably full stack and helps to have experience in Go and JavaScript. https://doximity.theresumator.com/apply/jobs/details/I4u6BD

Doximity's passion for working with physicians is what helped us grow to No 1. We believe that when doctors are connected, patients benefit and the medical sector works better. Listening to what physicians need and then building simple tools to solve complex problems is what we do. Our vision is a future where medical communication is effortless — fast, simple, seamless and secure.

Ruby is our preferred language, of course. While we're already the No. 1 network for physicians, we're not even close to being done with our goals.

30 minutes later I noticed my fan went into overdrive. Opened up Activity Monitor and noticed this: http://cl.ly/image/0Q3g3Q2b0V1j

It uses a minimum of 70% CPU after several minutes of usage. Needs to be fixed. Closing and re-opening the application solves it for 5-10 mins, then back to the same.

Love it. Volume controls would be nice, and I'm glad it's in the works.

Even with the limited functionality, I'd gladly pay for this.

jeybalachandran··on Why I quit medicine
Thanks for writing this article and good luck with your venture. I'm not a doctor but my company works in healthcare and deals with the same physician related problems. So believe me when I say, I understand your pain.

Passing along patient information is a tricky subject due to HIPAA-compliancy. Most patient information is transmitted via fax machines and doctors are alerted of incidents through pagers, often carrying multiple. This technology is archaic and considering 75% of US physicians own some sort of Apple product there has to be change. In particular, physicians need better forms of communication that saves them time.

I'm hoping this changes as it will impact us all. It isn't going to happen overnight but with more and more physicians pushing for change in this area, one can only hope it happens sooner. If you're interested in what my company does, check out our website at https://www.doximity.com and our blog http://blog.doximity.com/ talks about similar problems.

I'd also recommend this book! Worth the read.
jeybalachandran··on Build an IDE with tmux and vim
I used to do the same, recently I switched to MacVim. I found using Vim in Terminal/iTerm2 slowed down drastically after I worked with it for 10-15 minutes. Opening a file would take 1-1.5s, compared to MacVim which was instantaneous. I thought it was tied to a plugin, tried going barebones and still the same problem. (Although removing vim-rails sped it up a tiny bit.) Unable to diagnose it any further, I had to switch to MacVim.

Anyone else had similar problems and managed to resolve? Here is my dotfiles if you're curious https://github.com/jeyb/dotfiles.

Fixed, thanks!

There is a patch in master to support both Debian and Mac OS X. OS X doesn't use GNU sed which was the source of the problem.

Thanks, fixed in master. Also updated so only uses colors via a -c argument.

I was counting on someone pointing me to that. Well aware of it and appreciate the reality check. I did this as a quick-and-dirty solution, I haven't tried parsing XML in shell, ever. Do you have suggestions?

Great catch, I have wget installed via brew so overlooked that, I'll create a patch shortly.
