So I built a weekly planner around Intervals.icu where every design decision exists to protect the plan from me. Then I pointed it at my own training log, and it caught me quietly skipping the hard parts. ## [Isle of May Puffins](https://www.zamiang.com/photos/isle-of-may-puffins/) _2026-07-08 · Brennan Moore · Articles by Brennan Moore_ Puffins returning to their burrows on the Isle of May. ## [Isle of May Puffins](https://www.zamiang.com/photos/isle-of-may-puffins/) _2026-07-08 · Brennan Moore · Articles by Brennan Moore_ Puffins returning to their burrows on the Isle of May. ## [Isle of May Arctic Tern](https://www.zamiang.com/photos/isle-of-may/) _2026-07-07 · Brennan Moore · Articles by Brennan Moore_ Arctic terns nesting on the Isle of May, at the end of a 12,000-mile migration. ## [Scotland Birds](https://www.zamiang.com/photos/scotland-birds-2026/) _2026-07-06 · Brennan Moore · Articles by Brennan Moore_ Common birds of the Scottish coast, photographed over a week in the east. ## [Scotland Birds](https://www.zamiang.com/photos/scotland-birds-2026/) _2026-07-06 · Brennan Moore · Articles by Brennan Moore_ Common birds of the Scottish coast, photographed over a week in the east. ## [Memory for AI Agents is a filing system, not a file](https://www.zamiang.com/writing/ai-memory-filing-system/) _2026-06-03 · Brennan Moore · Articles by Brennan Moore_ Every AI agent wakes up with amnesia. This post details the Kelp codebase which runs two completely separate memory systems, one for the coding agent and one for the product. I argue that truely useful AI memory is a real subsystem with tiers, citations, expiry dates, and garbage collection. The hardest part isn’t recall; it’s knowing what to keep, what to supersede, and when to throw something… ## [Part 5: What Would I Build?](https://www.zamiang.com/writing/vbc-what-would-i-build/) _2026-05-25 · Brennan Moore · Articles by Brennan Moore_ If I could start over with everything eight years in value-based care taught me, what would I build? Two things: a standardized contract and data broker that turns year-long negotiations into month-long ones, and a universal patient data layer that follows the patient across insurance plans instead of resetting to zero every time they switch. Only once that foundation exists does AI become useful… ## [Jobs in Tech](https://thetakeoff.substack.com/p/jobs-in-tech) _2026-03-15 · Lukas Steinbock · The Takeoff_ Who does what ## [Value-based specialties](https://thetakeoff.substack.com/p/value-based-specialties) _2026-02-22 · Lukas Steinbock · The Takeoff_ Value-based care is emerging across many specialties, but its success varies widely by clinical and economic context. ## [Fast, secure international transfers (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/6MqJ0GCjcWuj) _2026-02-22 · **Sponsored**_ Bank transfer, cash pickup, mobile wallet — low fees and real-time tracking ## [Peru Small Birds](https://www.zamiang.com/photos/peru-warbler-flycatcher/) _2025-10-25 · Brennan Moore · Articles by Brennan Moore_ Small warblers, flycatchers, and hummingbirds from Peru. ## [Peru Small Birds](https://www.zamiang.com/photos/peru-warbler-flycatcher/) _2025-10-25 · Brennan Moore · Articles by Brennan Moore_ Small warblers, flycatchers, and hummingbirds from Peru. ## [Peru Larger Birds](https://www.zamiang.com/photos/peru-condor-larger-birds/) _2025-10-24 · Brennan Moore · Articles by Brennan Moore_ Condors and other large birds of the Peruvian Andes. ## [Peru Larger Birds](https://www.zamiang.com/photos/peru-condor-larger-birds/) _2025-10-24 · Brennan Moore · Articles by Brennan Moore_ Condors and other large birds of the Peruvian Andes. ## [Part 4: From 1 Year to 1 Month: A Proposal for Better VBC Contracts](https://www.zamiang.com/writing/proposal-for-better-vbc-contracts/) _2025-07-30 · Brennan Moore · Articles by Brennan Moore_ Value-based care contracts are challenging due to lengthy negotiations, strict and evolving security demands (especially post-Change Healthcare), and rigid terms that hinder innovation. These issues create financial strain for startups, making value-based care primarily accessible to large, established healthcare entities. In a world rapidly changing due to AI and at the policy level, we should… ## [Part 3: Why Your Health Data is a Mess](https://www.zamiang.com/writing/why-your-health-data-is-a-mess/) _2025-07-29 · Brennan Moore · Articles by Brennan Moore_ Your official health record is a useless mess, fragmented across different doctors and insurers. I argue that advertisers at companies like Google and Amazon know more about your daily life and habits than your own physician. Because this foundational data is so broken, new healthcare models like value-based care are failing, and simply applying AI won't fix the problem until the data itself is… ## [Part 2: What is Value-Based Care?](https://www.zamiang.com/writing/what-is-value-based-care/) _2025-07-28 · Brennan Moore · Articles by Brennan Moore_ This post details the value-based care is a model that pays providers to keep patients healthy and contrasts it with the traditional fee-for-service system. I argue that while the goal is simple, implementing it is "harder than rocket science." Drawing from my experience, the post details the extreme difficulties involved, including navigating multi-year contract negotiations with insurers,… ## [Part 1: What is “healthcare” in the US](https://www.zamiang.com/writing/what-is-us-healthcare/) _2025-07-27 · Brennan Moore · Articles by Brennan Moore_ An introduction to the U.S. healthcare system as "harder than rocket science" because it's a massively expensive and underperforming system plagued by "consolidated fragmentation." Despite enormous spending, outcomes lag behind other developed nations. The core issue is that the major players—insurers, hospitals, and providers—have grown into powerful, competing silos. This creates a gridlock that… ## [Flowers](https://www.zamiang.com/photos/flowers/) _2025-07-14 · Brennan Moore · Articles by Brennan Moore_ Flowers from the Brooklyn Botanic Garden and the New York Botanical Garden. ## [Flowers](https://www.zamiang.com/photos/flowers/) _2025-07-14 · Brennan Moore · Articles by Brennan Moore_ Flowers from the Brooklyn Botanic Garden and the New York Botanical Garden. ## [Finnish Seedboxes — Up to 20Gbps (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/VnO7kep1J62b) _2025-07-13 · **Sponsored**_ Private Finnish seedboxes with 1–20Gbps speeds, RAID storage and 14‑day refund ## [Cuts, Care, and Consequences: A Closer Look at the One Big Beautiful Bill Act](https://thetakeoff.substack.com/p/cuts-care-and-consequences-a-closer) _2025-06-04 · Mathis Varin · The Takeoff_ How OBBBA Reshapes Federal Healthcare Spending ## [All the small birds](https://www.zamiang.com/photos/spring-birds/) _2025-04-01 · Brennan Moore · Articles by Brennan Moore_ Small birds — warblers, tanagers, and chickadees — in early spring. ## [All the small birds](https://www.zamiang.com/photos/spring-birds/) _2025-04-01 · Brennan Moore · Articles by Brennan Moore_ Small birds — warblers, tanagers, and chickadees — in early spring. ## [History of US Healthcare](https://thetakeoff.substack.com/p/history-of-us-healthcare) _2025-02-11 · Lukas Steinbock · The Takeoff_ How did we get here? ## [US Health Insurance 101](https://thetakeoff.substack.com/p/us-health-insurance-101) _2025-02-09 · Lukas Steinbock · The Takeoff_ What is health insurance and why do we need it ## [The Case for Value-Based Care](https://thetakeoff.substack.com/p/the-case-for-value-based-care) _2024-12-26 · Lukas Steinbock · The Takeoff_ What is VBC and why it's our best option ## [Water Birds](https://www.zamiang.com/photos/water-birds/) _2024-12-25 · Brennan Moore · Articles by Brennan Moore_ Ducks, egrets, and sanderlings along the water's edge. ## [Water Birds](https://www.zamiang.com/photos/water-birds/) _2024-12-25 · Brennan Moore · Articles by Brennan Moore_ Ducks, egrets, and sanderlings along the water's edge.
