Hello, I’m Gabe, the CTO of RxRevu. It is no secret how busted the healthcare system is in the US. We’ve spent the past two years focused on making drug prices transparent for physicians and their patients. In thousands of hospitals and clinics across the US today, you can ask your doctor, “how much will that medication cost me?” and they’ll finally be able to give you an accurate answer.
We’re now building additional products that can also reduce the friction people encounter when accessing care. If working with mission-focused technologists on products that make a material difference for millions of people in the US sounds exciting, then we should probably talk!
RxRevu is a well-funded digital healthcare startup that offers tools and content for healthcare providers to understand the cost of care for their patients. We've been growing like crazy over the past year, we're in over 300 hospitals with hundreds of thousands of doctors performing millions of price transparency transactions per month.
This is a particularly hard problem in the US Health system and we have great momentum. If you like solving difficult problems that translate to a material improvement in someone's quality of life, e.g. access to a medication they wouldn't otherwise be able to afford, then we should probably talk.
We're cloud centric and use ruby on rails and more recently kotlin for transactional services, and python for data pipeline and other data intense systems. We've been fully distributed since the pandemic struck, most of us were based in the Denver area, but as we've grown in the past half-year we're now open to candidates anywhere inside the USA.

I can confirm this goes beyond the founding team, I've sold shares as a part of raising capital at the last two places I've been employed. I was an early hire at both and held the CTO title. Series C in 2014 and most recently series B at the start of 2018. I also seek out opportunities to unload my equity in the secondary market, but I'm usually taking a haircut there vs the premium investors that are looking for a bigger share will pay during a capital event.
I'm a bird in hand guy when it comes to equity at the fast-growing private companies I tend to be attracted to. I'm almost certain I'd feel differently if I had a larger stake or founder-level attachment to what was being built.

Elevated error rate with Google App Engine Blobstore API and App Engine Version Deployment
Incident began at 2019-03-12 19:49 (all times are US/Pacific).
Mitigation work is currently underway by our Engineering Team. We will provide another status update by Tuesday, 2019-03-12 20:45 US/Pacific with current details.

These are the not that well designed scenarios, when the status pages are hosted on the very same infrastructure that suffers an outage. This is a common pattern across cloud providers I have seen happen.
It's more likely that your browser just isn't loading the CSS background images for some reason. If you inspect the circles, do you still see the background-image declaration?
Honestly, it's not hard. Just don't design everything around color. On ticket to ride, the grey lines ones have a dot or shape in the middle whereas the black ones do not. I can see that dot, but it's small. If it was larger then the problem would be solved.
Heck, I'm not colorblind and I had trouble seeing the difference between "service disruption" and "service outage" at first in the legend at the bottom of the page.
It wasn't until I zoomed in on them that I could see that one was orange and the other red. Once I saw them zoomed, I could then identify which was which at normal size on the status part of the page.
BTW, the orange circle is actually a span whose class is "aad-yellow-circle", and whose CSS loads the colored circle from the file yellow_circle.png.
This suggests that at one time they intended it to be a yellow circle, not an orange circle [1]. I wonder why they switched from yellow to orange?
[1] Actually, RGB to name sites suggest that it is neon carrot.
If the user had e.g. red/green colorblindness, that wouldn't help. Google's made a nice tradeoff for this application, though, and used differently-shaped icons (checkmark vs. exclamation point) as well.
Edit: looks like the icons are served as images. Google should probably consider making them text icons instead to mitigate loading problems.

This is called Medical Loss Ratio (MLR), the thinking was to limit healthcare companies from charging exorbitant rates for "profit" and not care. It got strange though because "cost of care" also included wellness programs. So what do you think these insurance companies do coming into the year end when they are under their estimates for care?
A) Refund premium dollars to their members, HA!
or
B) Spend millions of dollars in the last days of the year building step counting programs and other half-baked wellness efforts
Healthcare in America is terminally ill. In it's current form, commercial insurance, like Aetna in this article, are rewarded for pumping up the total cost of care as big as possible while keeping their members just healthy enough to dump off at the doorstep of medicaid when they're old enough to qualify for it.
Wow, love this article. The context of this article is how I ran my consultancy and the developers didn't enjoy my choices to choose the "boring" tech over what new tech they wanted to bring in, in the middle of a project. "Secrets of Consulting" is a great book if you've never read it, too
