Shelf
Reading
A working shelf of books, essays, papers, and references.
This page is a working shelf, not a canon. It should change as the questions change.
The shelf supports the casebook: healthcare organizations, AI systems, strategy, data work, and the operating judgment that connects them.
Strategy and firms
- Stratechery, especially the habit of separating business structure from surface narrative.
- Case studies that make the constraints visible before they make the recommendation.
- Company histories where the operating model matters more than the slogan.
Healthcare organizations
- Writing that treats clinics, payors, vendors, and regulators as operating systems with incentives.
- Anything that explains how work actually moves: forms, queues, audits, staffing, billing, documentation, exceptions.
AI systems and infrastructure
- Evals, retrieval, observability, workflow design, and deployment notes.
- Postmortems where the failure mode is specific enough to learn from.
- Builder writing that explains what changed after the demo.
Personal references
- Patrick Collison’s plain, link-forward personal site.
- Research lab notebooks, technical blogs, and public work logs that keep their rough edges.
