Josh Case

Hey #MedTwitter, I'm a doctor who's passionate about getting more docs involved in tech. I've written a book designed to teach doctors, students and HCWs how to code quickly. I've released the first chapter on my blog. Let me know what you think! joshcase.dev/articles/chapt…

@PropaneFitness Thanks for the shoutout Yusuf! Hope you’re well. The pod sounds great by the way - which mic do you use?

@MustafaSultan another classic is flattery - “I noticed you’re an expert in xyz, what would your advice be to a hardworking student looking to get into your field?”

A good way to get startup internships/a mentor is to use the trojan horse method 🐴 Open the relationship with a gift 🎁 rather than an ask 🤲. E.g. "here's a graphic I made for your event" or "here's a mockup of what you should do with your product". Instant respect/kudos.

@samhbarton 🙋🏼‍♂️

Anyone else completely replace their reddit usage with twitter over the past few years?

Internet friends, I’m coming over to the UK and Europe in a few weeks - does anyone fancy a pint? Let me know

@StuMaitland As far as I know the triage desk tells the patient to lie to the admitting reg and save the real story for the consultant

@pepemac27 Go for it!

@_JoshCase Please can I DM you?

Is there anyone very clever on here who could please teach me some basics about Google Analytics? Thanks in advance! @_JoshCase

@PropaneFitness @ChickensAndSam @the_coopertron Thank you for the kind words Yusef! Looking to come across the pond next year, we should catch up for a protein shake 😂

@ChickensAndSam @the_coopertron I'm glad to see a big push for quality improvement now, the next step is the implementation hurdles. @_JoshCase has been an inspiration for taking the bull by the horns and implementing fixes himself

I just quit being a doctor for the NHS. Here are 12 reflections:

@Ryan_L_K @dafyddloughran @drake_PRS @MustafaSultan @Code_Med_ @DoctorCode2 If you wanted to do this yourself, could use the techniques described in Code Blue (ie. use phpmailer library). To make the task recurring, you could either set it up as a cronjob on a server or a scheduled task on your computer. A paid solution would be more efficient though

Tech help wanted: I would like to automatically send an email to a specific group of people every 2 weeks? I know Boomerang will do this, but I was wondering if there was a free way to do it? @_JoshCase @dafyddloughran @drake_PRS @MustafaSultan @Code_Med_ @DoctorCode2

I recently read "Product Led Growth" by Wes Bush. He taught me that if you want users to keep coming back to your app, you need to craft a powerful onboarding experience. Here's a little snippet of the tutorial sequence I built for Olog, my shift-tracking app for doctors:

@djrosent @AcquiredFM Can't work out if this is an acquisition or a spin-off. Congrats @djrosent!

@AnaestheticsApp Wow that is very interesting. I suspect it’s got something to do with my continuous deployment pipeline (I’m using Fastlane). Both of my projects are built from the same Flutter project so I don’t see any good for there to be a 10x increase in bundle size.

@_JoshCase That's interesting, 134mb on the Apple store and 18mb for the Play Store. Why is there such a large difference?

💸 9 Mistakes That Cost Me Money When Launching My App📱 - A thread 🧵 👇 After launching Olog 13 weeks ago, it's now generating a small amount of revenue. The journey from the first line of code to having paying customers housed many mistakes that I'd never like to make again

@DoctorCode2 When learning, for me it was really wrapping my head around the build method and the widget lifecycle… Once I understood this, it increased the quality of things I could build with Flutter

What's the most difficult topic that you've encountered while learning Flutter

@jenna_s_h I’m working on it! joshcase.dev/articles/i-wro…

@keydaliu @jenna_s_h I know!! the problem is finding a way to package the solution. Too many complex system interactions 😭

@jenna_s_h @_JoshCase lol mate looks like the entire world has this problem 😂

@newsycombinator @MustafaSultan so awesome @MustafaSultan 👏

@Medifectious Thank you for the share! 🙏🙏

@ArronThind Thank you Arron! Baby steps

@_JoshCase Nice one, Josh. These are some really valuable reflections. Congratulations on generating revenue! Looking forward to hearing how things progress

Lesson Learned: Rome wasn't built in a day. If you're dealing with large organisations, you don't need a working prototype. Start your discussions early.
