Comment on The Dentist Office Software Storyparent

Comments

I can confirm that this guy does exist in most countries. I know a few dentists-turned-programmers in the USA and India who have been making and selling dental software since the 90's.

Instead of dogfooding it themselves, these dentists should hire professional software developers to build custom software and tell them what features to build based on their knowledge and experience. Then again, everyone is a critic.

Before you edited it I was going to ask you about this statement: "Instead of dogfooding it, these dentists should hire professional software developers and tell them what features to build based on their knowledge and experience. Then again, everyone is a critic."

Isn't that against the HN mantra that everyone should do the development themselves? Perhaps that is why you deleted that part?

So, that's not why I deleted it. I deleted it because I had the wrong interpretation of dogfooding it. Now that you brought it up, I'll edit my original post.

I'm not familiar with any HN mantra that you're referring to.
