i'm immensely grateful to have grown up across the street from "Mr. Jim" and now, 30y later consider him my running coach

he has many amazing running stories. i just recently found out how phenomenal of a runner he was in the 50s, 60s and 70s and still to this day

do things that don't make sense. so much is mind control.

stomach hurts? touch as many trees as you can that lap. something hurts? carry a rock. go fast; go slow.

get out of your head. it's a trap.

first ultra, first off road run, first 50miler

Using the iPad Pro as my development machine I purchased an iPad Pro with the Smart Keyboard and Pencil to use as my main computer. Can it replace my local workstation? Is it powerful enough for my day-to-day tasks? Let's find out.

i prefer writing code on an ipad

something about the small ipad screen feeling like a secondary peripheral and my primary focus being pen and paper or thinking space

ive used an ipad + nuc for personal projects since @arslan.io posted arslan.io/2019/01/07/u... (well actually probably '21)

it's a great burnout task

spending time tweaking colorschemes and tools is far from a waste of time (when done in moderation).

i spend a few hours a year revisiting my neovim setup and every time i do i get pumped to program the next day!

i like a high-contrast, minimal colorscheme.

ive found myself asking ai to do things like simple global grep and replace in vim...

so wasteful... and lazy

yellow text on black and white photos is a style that i like

how ive approached this is to go read the docs and attempt to write the code myself then ask ai to implement to see how our answers compared.

ai has created a weird learning predicament for me personally.

do i ship or do i learn?

do i have ai write the code for me? or do i allow myself a few more minutes to go learn how to write the code myself?
