1/x The story of the @akdevalliance and growing up in Alaska. 🧵

I can't count the number of times I got asked whether Alaska was part of the US. It's beautiful, but It can be isolating. Especially if you have a niche hobby. Growing up AK, programming was a niche hobby.

Any sufficiently complex database query with business logic will eventually become a query builder.

Any sufficiently complete query builder becomes an ORM.

Every ORM runs into query specific optimization problems.

And the cycle repeats

@RachelCarraway I like the knot cap. Rugged yet warm

This might be the best advertisement Ive seen

@FunkyBrittDazzl Chugach coffee roasters is the coffee you didn’t know you were looking for

@nateberkopec Ah yeah going fully integrated and carbon is nice. Looks like a factor? Sweet bike. Great work on the ftp boost!

[Jeff Levin @JeffLevin3]

@dvassallo You’re missing muscular endurance. You’ll need specific intervals to get the legs and body to process lactic acid. 4-8min.

Form + work on hip flexor mobility.

Use a hill (this won’t help your mile but will help max hr)

Do it on a hot day 75+ or above.

New max HR.

@erikfromalaska But I guess it only works if people read the docs!

[Jeff Levin @JeffLevin3]

I feel like every time a project is waiting on me for documentation it seems to be the thing that ALL of my projects are bottle necked on…. Leading to like a week straight of writing docs.

This happen to anyone else?

[Jeff Levin @JeffLevin3]

@erikfromalaska Haha! I love this. Will be using it

[Jeff Levin @JeffLevin3]

@erikfromalaska It’s both. We want to state the things we value to help people follow along with our decisions. If they value the same things it’ll help them decide if our tool is the right fit beyond the existing use case and hopefully share their ideas with us as well.

[Jeff Levin @JeffLevin3]

@tanvirraj @haybytes @grafana You bet! I’ll make a post soon.

[Jeff Levin @JeffLevin3]

@haybytes and I spent 5 days collecting our favorite tools and patterns from the graveyard of projects we’ve built in Go and crafted a web API Toolkit complete with domain scaffolding and observability with @grafana stack.

We call it Go TTL.

Documentation coming this week!

[Hayden Kotelman @haybytes]

Working on a new Go web API start kit has be re-invigorated to ship some new features for my scaffolding tool. Just shipped some new pluralization functions so we can scaffold endpoints cleaner in the Starter kit

@haybytes Down! But maybe docs first 😂

@ardanlabs Holy smokes!! That was 3 years ago 🤯. Let’s do it again soon

[Jeff Levin @JeffLevin3]

@DefenderOfBasic Yes! And then ciesta makes SO much sense. You’ve been active and done something. Eaten a big meal. Take a nap. Go about your day. Eat a light dinner. Sleep great. Repeat. We tend to plug our energy deficits with calories rather than sleep and recovery.

[Jeff Levin @JeffLevin3]

@DefenderOfBasic With sports I realized that eating needed to be contextual to the exercise.

easy workout=eat normal but a little more
Hard workout= carbs
Big day adventuring= eat lots the day before and eat during
Recovery=protein+veg

Eased burden of digestion=lighter, ++energy, better sleep

[Jeff Levin @JeffLevin3]

@DefenderOfBasic We eat too much as it is(calories and frequency) without enough expenditure. All sorts of problems with American food. When you fast, your body repairs itself and all the energy diverted to your metabolism is usable for whatever you want.

@benmatheson congrats!
