Colin hacking

I'm an engineer, founder, open-sourcer, digital nomad, MIT alum, and movie buff. I like long walks along train tracks and I overuse this emoji. My latest preneur is designing sexy medical software for direct primary care over at Bagel Health. We're trying to manage demonically complex medical data with even more demonically complex combinations of TypeScript, MobX, and Neo4j.

Surprisingly, it isn't going well. I'm also the creator of Zod, one of the most popular schema validation libraries for TypeScript. It has over stars and I'm quite proud of it. Check it out on GitHub here. I'm a huge advocate of direct primary care. Unfortunately my entire career in software is just a distraction from my food blog.

A TypeScript-first schema validation library with static type inference! Go to repo. Where I present a combinatorial system for preparing diverse and delicious one-pot meals.

It's very dumb. Go to site. An electronic medical record software for direct primary care built with TypeScript, React, and Neo4j. YC backed.

A patient-centric website designed to educate patients about the direct primary care DPC model: a cash-pay, insurance-free membership model growing in popularity among American primary care physicians. So do I! We chat about the top stories on HN, with some super nerdy tangents about tech and programming sprinkled in. Giving evidence to the Leveson inquiry into press standards, Myler was challenged over a letter he wrote to the PCC in August — a month after the Guardian first wrote that phone hacking was widespread at the News of the World NoW.

For that I apologise. The former tabloid editor had earlier conceded that the paper's rogue reporter defence had collapsed when he first became aware of the email, over a year before he wrote to the PCC. The "for Neville" email contained transcripts of voicemails transcribed by a junior reporter, Ross Hall, and sent to private investigator Glenn Mulcaire with the message that the transcript was "for Neville".

That is generally accepted to be a reference to Neville Thurlbeck, then the paper's chief reporter. Myler also told the inquiry he thought James Murdoch had been shown the "for Neville" email at a June meeting.

He said he had "no reason to disbelieve" the NoW's former head of legal, Tom Crone, who told the Leveson inquiry on Wednesday that he had held up a copy of the "for Neville" email during a meeting with Murdoch on 10 June Myler was also at the meeting to discuss how to deal with a legal claim from Gordon Taylor, the chief executive of the Professional Footballers' Association.

I am aware [of what] Crone said in his testimony and I have no reason to disbelieve that he did what he said he did. Murdoch, then chairman of the paper's owner, News International, denies seeing the "for Neville" email. I think that we were dealing with a very difficult negotiation … I don't believe it's wrong or unreasonable of any business to try to protect the reputation of itself.

Lord Justice Leveson put it to Myler that: "What one person might describe as a cover-up another person would describe as an attempt to limit reputational damage.
