crisopolis··on Ask HN: How did you get to your current job/startup?
27 years old, almost 28 in 11 days. I passed high school some how I was like #534 out of #540 of the class. I was accepted to sub-campus college dropped out and then I was accepted into another sub-campus college kicked out for low GPA. I started my working career as a Pharmacy Technician for a local grocer then in 2006 I changed companies to work as a Pharmacy Technician for a health insurance company.

While working at this new employer I was able to show my superiors I knew how to provide solutions to their problems without the need for IT overhead. So I created a basic CRM in MS Access that integrated with our autodialer, pharmacy system, fax system this system was used to outreach members about a pharmacy benefit of switching to a cheaper generic drug rather than the expensive drug they were taking. At this point my title then changed to Analyst.

After that journey I decided to switch roles within the same company and move to Florida where I was given the title of Applications Engineer. I worked on a Care Management system for remote nurses going in-home to at-risk members. This system was horrid and looked like Windows 98 ... so I asked if I could re-build it with a JavaScript/Bootstrap front-end and re-wire a bit of the backend with the other 6 engineers on the team. My request was granted and I was tasked to other projects to beautify and re-engineer.

Now I'm a Systems Analyst for a Oracle-owned Talent Management System with the same company (7 years) ... pretty much doing configuration, answering questions and consulting.

So... I really want a programming job (I'm looking) and now I'm just working on a side-project to make a Talent Management System better than Oracle's piece of shit.

crisopolis··on How Bad Will It Get for American Express?
Article references Costco getting bummed that their customers could use VISA in plenty of places and that's correct. However, I'm an AMEX cardholder and I've yet to run into a place who doesn't accept AMEX.

However, Costco is right AMEX is just a vendor and if they can find cheaper or better vendor with benefits then more power to them.
