Pretty good magazine series I've been reading the past year. This issue has some pretty interesting articles about the tech infrastructure for the VA and record keeping in the Healthcare industry. The interview with the guy who essentially built the COBOL system for VA record keeping is actually pretty informative and the article about awful hospital campus design made me feel personally vindicated.

this one didn't blow me out of the water like other issues, maybe because I read all the interviews first, and I don't find interviews as engaging as essays?
my favorite essays were...:
- computerized therapy one, which inspired me to get the author's visual novel game ELIZA!! it's so great
- cobol, and how people hated on it because it was easy to understand and made software engineering seem like a job that may not require as much skill as ya think
- how taiwan's single-payer healthscare system pwned Covid

First edition of the magazine I've read, and was delighted by everything I read. From the insightful interview with an organizer in Amazon United to the standout article "Informatics of the Oppressed" - a fantastic piece on radical, empancipatory approaches to librarianship emerging from Cuba. A real insight into how information not only needs to be shared, but also produced. I still think about it regularly.
