This is the fourth in a series of articles about what I have learned developing and executing the technology strategy at CareSet, where I was the founding CTO.

The basis of all conservative technical strategy is “what can we make work for sure?”, which is the art of the “known-good” approach. The enemy of this approach is plans that “might” work. 

We also discuss what it means to "evolve", given the two common and contradictory meanings of this word. One is Darwinian and one just means "slow change".

We also discuss the philosophy that goes along with stacks by focusing on the ideas behind Unix, which is the origin of my preferred Stacks.

Whether you are familiar with the concepts of a Software Stack or not, this article should help you understand their strategic implications in healthcare technology.

This is part of the most expensive part of my website, the strategy content.
