Yup, you are right. I just got all three working great on Apple Calendar, both desktop and iPhone! Thanks.

I vaguely remember going to one in Santa Clara or San Jose or something. But only once or twice. The Presidio office was pretty, but I think they closed it soon after the Healtheon acquisition.

Technically I was in Presidio, but since they let us travel whenever, I spent a lot of time at PDX.

I really enjoyed this one. That was such a formative time for me, and hearing @richburroughs.dev talk about it just made me smile.

Rich mentions how we all worked on like a handful of Solaris boxes. Development there was largely done by telneting (and later SSHing) into a development server and working on the code using either vim or emacs (or nano).

I also have this vague memory of an early Facebook group called "WebMD Said I'm Going To Die" that was basically all of the funny ways you could get from the symptom checker to a fatal diagnosis.

I think the name of the company that WebMD merged with was Healtheon. (So many mergers and acquisitions happened that I don't remember which one was the one that Rich is talking about here.)

WebRN was like a mini-portal at WebMD that was designed specifically for nurses. I don't think it survived even to the end of 2000.

The Microsoft thing that Rich talks about is the reason why WebMD's ontological search engine (a cool early AI thing) never saw the light of day, because we wrote it all in Java and it could not be ported to IIS.

The web server that we ran there (the one Rich mentions) was written by none other than Lee Boynton, one of the original creators of Java. Lee wrote the first version of the site in Python, but it wasn't scalable enough at that time, so we all reimplemented it in Java.

Have you looked at the WASI Component Model? That may be what you’re looking for.

Yes. A lot of people. Like tens, if not hundreds, of thousands. It’s in cars, IoT devices, etc. SpinKube has like 80k downloads, and Soin is above half a million. We run around 4K apps in Fermyon Cloud. While not all of those are in prod, a lot are and have been for years.

I agree. The entire .NET ecosystem is actually on the avant-garde of WebAssembly.

In addition to the Blazor work, the .NET team has done some awesome stuff. Here, for example, is how we used Aspire.
