 For a long time I have been wanting a place to share my thoughts out loud. This site has been a fantastic creative outlet for me but I have found a few issues. Mostly just one, it takes a very long time to write a single blog post. My posts tend to be technical and include code examples, so it is really important that my code examples actually do what they are supposed to. I would really hate it if someone read my article, was excited to try the code, and then found out the whole thing didn't compile at all. So that means that I need to read and re-read my posts. I need to research them and think about them deeply.

 # Post Expertise Scarcity
 
-There's a scene in the early-2000s medical sitcom [Scrubs](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0285403/) where an older hotshot doctor is visiting a patient. He reads off a bunch of stats about her medical tests and tells her all about her diagnosis, but she constantly finishes his sentences before him. How? Google. She's using this new-fangled device called a smartphone and looking up all the answers faster than he can even say them.

+[^1]: Of course, I can hear people saying, "But wait! The iPhone didn't come out until 2007!" This is revisionistic. The scene is set in 2001, and the iPhone was not released until 2007. But the smartphone was already a thing, they just weren't good yet. 
 
 She's convinced that she doesn't need a doctor. She can look up whatever she needs to on Google.
