Hi all 👋

Back very briefly to mention I’m working on a new course, and there’s a star-studded set of guest speakers 🎉

From Scratch to Scale: Distributed Training (from the ground up).

From now until I’m done writing the course material, it’s 25% off :)

AAAHHHHHHHHH BE NICE TO OPEN SOURCE MAINTAINERS OH MY GOD. SOME OF YOU ARE SO RUDE, WHO RAISED YOU

JK STRONG is still awesome. Solution (which they were already aware of this) was literally logout -> login!

11/10 customer support

I specifically mean my gym tracking app, STRONG. I’ve used it for 5 years, have a lifetime membership, and they decided that there needs to be internet access to check for premium to add warmup sets. Which is a bit insane. (It is a premium feature, but there’s better ways to do this)

Enshittification has come to my gym app. Lord help us all 😭

And I’ll try wearing it not sleeping only :)

(As a result I no longer wear mine and track my sleep using other methods that don’t have that psychological affect)

As someone who did Oura for 2 years, I can say it got to a point where my sleep depended on the Oura score, not the Oura score providing insight. So be weary of that long-term otherwise full agree 💯

Too Wikipedia for X, too AI for Bluesky.

Thanks Chris! 🫡

Recently did my first lifting competition, overall quite happy where things ended up (bar bench) and was a ton of fun. Might wait a year and give it another go, but I did get first in the weight class!

145kg squat
180kg deadlift
90kg bench

It comes up and down sporadically for me 🫠

I guess work is done for the day, everyone can go home 🤷‍♂️

A federal judge in Maryland issued a temporary restraining order on Monday, blocking members of Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency team and anyone “working on the DOGE agenda at the Department of Education” from accessing sensitive data until March 10.

Day one of new program: ✅

Nothing humbles you more than a front squat.

Going from 260lbs back squat to 115lbs front squat was *lovely*

Social preview of https://github.com/johnousterhout/aposd-vs-clean-code/blob/main/README.md

Interesting discussions between John Ousterhout and "Uncle Bob" on software design: method length, comments, and test-driven development. It's a great example of "agree to disagree". There is no silver bullet in software design. Let's focus on writing easy-to-parse code 👀

Doesn’t this really translate as `x -= -1`? And just the whitespace makes it weird?

(In a language that cares about whitespace… for the why…)

Estimated read time: 2-3 days

Who’s going to be the first to start a study group?

Congrats all! Super impressive 🤩🤩🤩
