I've just been on a long car trip and I ended up listening to the Acquired podcast episode on Epic Systems. Not a company I'd heard of or a story I knew. It's fascinating. Whimsy, determination, abuse of power, the wealthiest self-made woman in history, medical software, ERP failures, government over-reach, MUMPS, more whimsy.
I imagine many people I know will find this equally fascinating. And many others I know will find it infuriating, galling and partial. I'd love to hear people talk about this.
