I completely agree and I think the fact that he's not being roasted by HN commenters for posting this is a good sign that it is over for this website/forum.
I started using it too when I got sick of using VS Code to look at md. Glad I never had the need to install any plug-ins! Very poor form on their part from what I can tell.
Yes in good faith I will one hundred percent no-lie wire you 100AUD if you can prove beyond doubt that you had a discussion like that with a Swiss health provider. Not one that you contrive now after the fact - one that happened before this wager.
Spoiler: you didn't mate and you are full of shit.
Yeah sure, as a matter of rule, every time I visit any health provider I am always discussing with the medical receptionist: the software they use, the challenges the business as a whole faces, the tensions between insurers and third parties.
Things that absolutely 100% happen everytime I - a tech guy - experiences when I go to the doctor/phyiso-therapist etc... etc... These are discussions that are happening.
> On my last visit i actually casually discussed their IT system with a doctor.
Oh right, cool. Did it have a public-facing web-portal that you were able to "investigate" and that "Thirty minutes in, I had full read and write access to all patient data".
The level of credulity in these comments is immense.
It's pure bs. If you read that blog post and think "this definitely happened", let alone "wow - this is interesting" then I have a monorail to sell you.

> The entire application was a single HTML file with all JavaScript, CSS, and structure written inline. The backend was a managed database service with zero access control configured, no row-level security, nothing. All "access control" logic lived in the JavaScript on the client side, meaning the data was literally one curl command away from anyone who looked.

Hmmmm... interesting, now that I have the "Technical Background" I for sure know that this medical app was 100% vibe coded by a Medical Practice in the Real World and exists! (TM)
> The timelines mentioned are weird - he spoke to them before they built it? Or after? It's not that clear, he mentions they mentioned watching a video.
Yeah although I didn't comment I found this weird as well. Chronology was vague and ill-defined. He went to a doctors office and the receptionist mentioned vibe coding their patient records system unprompted?
> A few days later, I started poking around the application.
What!? How... was there even a web-facing component to this system? Did the medical practice grant you access for some reason?
Yeah I'm back to calling bullshit. What a load of crap. Whole post probably written by an LLM.
